Which home trends are in and out this Spring?

HGTV’s ‘Rock the Block’ renovation competition returned for its fourth season Monday. This time around, four new groups of designers are going head-to-head in a renovation competition in Berhoud, CO.

In a recent interview, the competitors revealed the trends that they plan on embracing, and a few formerly popular ideas they’ll be staying away from.

Functionality and adding value were key elements that they all plan on focusing on, but there are a few trends that the designers are looking to:

  • Open floor plans are still acceptable
  • Stainless steel appliances and subway tile are over
  • Marble countertops are overly basic

Markets pause ahead of Chairman Powell’s testimony

 

Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell will testify in front of both houses of Congress this week, and the markets appeared to pause ahead of his testimony. How he responds to questions from the Senate on Tuesday will likely influence the direction some of the markets may go.

It’s expected that Powell will have his hands full with the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday, and the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday.

Democratic legislators have been worried about the Fed dragging down the economy and will likely ask Powell to clarify his current positions, and detail what the impacts of continued interest hikes are.

Powell has two tasks in front of Congress. He has to detail how we’ve made progress in the fight against inflation, and he’ll have to stay on message in regards to continued interest rate hikes.
