2023 will bring a major chance of showers—in your main bathroom, that is.
It appears that homeowners are now seeing showers as a place to indulge their self-care ritual as opposed to a space for a brisk, task-focused scrub-down.
Recently, Pinterest (aka the internet’s favorite virtual bulletin board) named an “elevated shower routine” as one of the top trends for the coming year. It comes as part of its Pinterest Predicts report—a roundup of emerging trends based on searches on the social media platform.
Over the past two years, users upped their searches for things like “amazing showers walk in,” “doorless shower ideas,” and “home spa bathroom,” signaling that showers are on the verge of overtaking soaking tubs as the most luxurious bathroom amenity.
Want To Save $150K on a Home? Here’s the One Place Where These Bargains Are Hiding Today
America’s hottest markets might have a few reigning champs, but some serious competition in the Midwest is nipping at their heels.
The Realtor.com® Hottest Markets List reveals that the average home listing price for December’s 20 hottest real estate markets was $313,000—about 21.8% lower than the national median as buyers increasingly sought out affordability. (The rankings factor in a combination of demand—measured by the number of unique views per home listing—and how quickly homes are selling in that area.)
Manchester, NH, about an hour northwest of Boston, took the No. 1 spot for the 16th time in the past 22 months. Rochester, NY, not far from the U.S.-Canadian border, also maintained a strong showing on the list, coming in second in the rankings. But these Northeastern hot-market heavyweights might not stay in the lead for long.
Homebuyers seeking deeper discounts are now finding them in the mighty Midwest.

On “Home Town,” Erin and Ben Napier usually help people renovate single-family homes. So, they’re in for a big challenge when they agree to renovate an inn.

One of Frank Lloyd Wright‘s earliest works is up for grabs, and it comes with a relatively modest $595,000 price tag.
The three-bedroom, 1.5-bath space is located in Oak Park, IL, which has the country’s largest concentration of homes designed by the famed architect.
The property’s price has dropped twice since its December 2022 listing at $770,000.
