Home buyers aren't just looking at the number of bedrooms and kitchen appliances anymore. They're looking at developments that offer new amenities like golf simulators, green spaces and yoga studios. Real estate experts MariaElena Scotto and Kim Shepard join Your Future Home to talk about the newest trends in housing amenities.
Technology is a big must-have for first-time home buyers. Shepard talks about front doors with keyless entry, built-in Bluetooth-enabled devices, and appliances that pair with your smartphone.
