These Are the Most Popular House Styles of the Year, According to Google

Whether you're in the market for a new house or just a serial Zillow scroller, there are certain architectural styles that undoubtedly catch your eye. According to Google's 2025 trend report, which lists the top trending searches in the U.S., and additional reporting using Google Gemini to track search volumes and home listing data from this year, these are the most popular home styles being sought after in 2025. From quaint farmhouses to modern stunners, how does your dream home measure up?

Read on to see the top 10 trending house styles, and find out what makes each design worth searching for.

Rounding out the top 10 is Greek Revival architecture. Unlike the quiet luxury trend, this stately style screams grandeur. Inspired by classic Greek temples, these homes feature grand entrances flanked with columns and embellishents like pilasters and pediments. With a relatively low amount of new Greek Revivals being built and listed, finding one of these striking structures homes is a rarity.

Next on the list is a more welcoming, homespun style. That's right, we're talking about Cape Cod houses with cottage charm. While these structures have a strong regional following in the Northeast, this archtiectural style can be found all over the country. Characterized by their signature steep roofs and dormers, Cape Cods have a cozy feel and a cleverly compact design. Buyers that prioritize smaller spaces for efficiency — and charm — flock to these quaint homes.

Once upon a time, Tudor Revival homes (modeled after medieval cottages from the 1500s) were built in well-established communities in the United States. In 2025, this storybook style is still driving searches — and it's easy to see why. With their signature half-timbering, steep, sloping rooflines and charming chimneys, Tudor homes are full of historical elegance — and a little bit of fairytale magic.

It's no surprise that Mediterranean Revival homes are trending in the sunbelt states. With red roof tiles, stucco exteriors and arched openings, searches for Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial Revival architecture peak in Florida, the Southwest and California — the parts of the country where you're most likely to see one of these Spanish-inspired beauties on the street.

Midcentury modern design has been a dominant interior style for decades (thanks in part to its resurgence in the early 2000s with the release of Mad Men). This year it was trending in exterior house styles as well — with the search volume peaking in particular regions, like Oakland, California.

Farmhouse style is here to stay. This style has topped Google's trend lists in past, and even though it's coming in at number five this year, it's popularity among homeowners, buyers and designers is pervasive. Originally built for function, this Americana house style is now beloved for it's informal feel. Rustic, relaxed and full of charm — we predict farmhouses will continue to trend for years to come.

According to Google, Craftsman style homes are highly desirable in places like the Pacific Northwest and certain Southern metros. Gabled roofs, straight lines and overhanging eaves define them and contribute to their unique appeal. Our favorite thing about Craftsmans: Their architectural details lend themselves to bold or unexpected exterior color schemes.

Modern designs were among the trendiest home styles being searched this year. With their sleek style, low-slung roofs and spare geometric forms, the internet loves this not-so-new architecture. (Most modern architecture is at least 50 years old, so it's not all that modern anymore.) Our favorite design element: Large windows and skylights that let in maximum natural light.

Western style has been trending everywhere this year — from fashion to home decor — so it shouldn't be shocking that ranch-style homes are trending, too. These single-story homes are modeled after the casual design of true Western houses. Ranch homes can be considered a subtype of modern architecture — both embrace open spaces and the connection between indoor and outdoor living — but are more affordable and widely appealing than their mod cousins.
