growing trend among U.S. homeowners – interestin sustainable, eco-friendly building materials.

“High-performance decking provides the lookand feel of real wood, but without the environ-mental impact, making it an ideal choice fortoday’s eco-conscious consumers,” notes Zamba-nini.

national trends emerging outside homes acrossthe U.S.

■ Size mattersThe biggest trend in decks right now is the in-

crease in square footage. Gone are the days of the20-by-10-foot rectangle with just enough roomfor a grill and some patio furniture. Today’s decksare expanding both horizontally and vertically.Demand for decks with multiple tiers is increas-ing, as are requests to finish the space below anelevated deck.

■ Thinking outside the boxWhen it comes to deck designs, today’s home-

owners also are thinking way outside the box andcustomizing nearly every aspect of their outdoorliving spaces. Remodelers and architects reportincreased interest in pergolas and walls to definedifferent functional areas and create privacy, aswell as integrated features like built-in benches,planter boxes and storage. Similarly, consumerinterest in accessories such as deck lighting, or-namental post caps and decorative balusters alsois on the rise.

“We are seeing a lot more mixing of materials,”

reports Zambanini. “Contractors and consum-ers alike are creating highly customized deckdesigns combining two or more decking shadesand also mixing materials such as compositerailings in white with contrasting black alumi-num balusters.”

■High-performance, low maintenanceIn addition to design aesthetics, homeowners

across the country are increasingly concernedwith performance. Specifically, they want ma-terials that allow them to spend more timeenjoying their outdoor living space rather thanmaintaining it. This motivation has contributedto the continued innovation and popularity ofcomposite decking and railing.

Unlike wood or even traditional composites,high-performance wood alternatives resist fad-ing, staining, scratching and mold and won’t rot,warp, crack or splinter. Upkeep is hassle-free andrequires no sanding, staining or painting. Foodand drink spills wash off easily with just soapand water.

■ SustainabilityComposite decking also responds to another

he popularity of outdoor living spaces ispoised for significant growth with indus-try analysts predicting it will be a $5.7

billion market by 2016. Reinforcing these pro-jections, 63 percent of architects cite an outdoorliving space as the most popular “special functionroom” in housing construction, according to theAmerican Institute of Architects.

What’s more, the Hearth, Patio and BarbecueAssociation reports that homebuilders list decksamong the top three features most requestedwith new home buys.

“Decks and porches are now consideredtrue extensions of a home’s living space,” saysAdam Zambanini, vice president of marketing forTrex Company, the world’s largest manufacturer ofhigh-performance wood-alternative decking andrailing. “People are showing increased interest inmaximizing the function, comfort and personal-ization of their outdoor spaces and are realizingthat it’s far more economical to expand their livingspace outside than to enlarge or renovate theirhome’s interior.”

For first-time home-buyers looking to beplayers in today’s realestate market, Move.com offers the followingtips:

■ Research yourmarket. All real estateis localized, and the keyto a successful purchaseis to know the market.In fact, the real estatemarket is so localizedthat prices among sim-ilar homes vary greatlyeven between neighboring towns.

■ Make a list of what you want. Let yourRealtor know your criteria in order to find homes

■ Get pre-approved.Although not a final loan com-mitment, a pre-approval lettercan be shown to listing bro-kers when you are bidding ona home. It demonstrates yourfinancial strength and showsthat you have the ability togo through with a purchase.Lenders can be found in thefinance section of Realtor.com.

■ Make a decision. Onceyou find the best home thatfits your needs, take action.Homebuyersoften hesitate, andthis could mean you miss thebest home that meets yourneeds. If you have chosen a

irst-time homebuyers, more than any otherdemographic, stand to benefit the most intoday’s real estate market.

In fact, a recent survey commissioned by Move.com reveals that 23 percent of adults plan topurchase a home in the next five years and thatmore than half of them (53.5 percent) will be first-time homebuyers.

Consider that every time a renter buys a home,they make possible a chain reaction of transactionsworth many times more than the actual valueof the home they purchase. Because first-timehomebuyers aren’t selling properties, they don’tput new homes on the market when they buy. Asa result, first-time homebuyers reduce real estateinventories and allow existing owners to trade-upor relocate.

The growing number of first-time homebuyerssuggests that conditions are finally attracting buy-ers back despite the critical picture in the overalleconomy. In the past, high prices and large downpayments made buying a home for the first timedifficult. The right mix of attractive listing prices,
