It may surprise you to learn that most new home buyers want a patio included in their new residence. For example, in 2022, of the roughly one million single-family homes started, 63.3 percent came with patios, according to construction industry source eyeonhousing.org. This number is up from 63 percent in 2021 and represents the seventh consecutive year when a new record was established.
Patio popularity partially came about as an unintended consequence of COVID concern.
