Surprising Answers To What Americans Want In A Dream Home

A new Zillow survey about dream homes show that for a lot of folks their dream home is actually the home they grew up in. The group with the most people who grew up in their dream home were folks born in the 80s (62%) and 90s (55%) are the most likely to say their childhood home was their dream home.

As for what people wanted in their dream home when they were young a pool (77%) and/or a home theater (73%). Today, 72% of adults would still include a pool, and 76% would include a home theater in their current dream home.

The #1 request for a dream home today is air conditioning (89%). That's amazing to imagine how many Americans don't have AC, but growing up in CT we didn't and I remember seeing people on TV with it and thinking that was amazing.

#2 and #3 items in a dream home is a walk-in closet (89%) and a laundry room (85%).

However, that inner child lives within a significant share of adults, who still want a bowling alley (43%), a frozen yogurt or soft serve machine (34%), and a soda vending machine (24%) in their present-day dream home.
