The American Institute of Architects’ latest survey, published on September 22, looks at home and property design trends, comparing what homeowners are asking their architects for when adding or upgrading their homes in the third quarter of 2026 with 2025. To complete these surveys, the professional association asks its members to complete questionnaires about what they’re seeing in their practices. Then they produce the reports from hundreds of responses. Many of the growth categories shared by the architects can enhance their clients’ wellness potential. Given the continued demand for wellness spaces and features, they may also enhance a home’s future resale value.
With mortgage rates surging to a three-year high, buyers are increasingly feeling the affordability squeeze, but there are concrete steps they can take to retain control over the actual rate they secure—and potentially save tens of thousands of dollars.

A new report from the Realtor.com team shows how individual borrower choices and financial profiles—specifically involving credit scores, down payments, and mortgage lender selection—determine where they land relative to the 7% headline rate.
