Garage Plans People Want
A quick search through Google revealed a somewhat surprising result for the typical sized garage associated with homes for sale in the U.S. Both of the terms we used in the search phrase were entered as exact searches (enclosed in quotes), meaning we only wanted results that included the words 'home for sale' and 'x car garage' in that order. The results of our extremely unscientific poll showed:
- 667,000 searches for "home for sale" "1 car garage"
- 420,000 searches for "home for sale" "2 car garage"
- 122,000 searches for "home for sale" "3 car garage"
- 3,750,000 searches for "home for sale" "4 car garage"
- 587,000 searches for "home for sale" "5 car garage"
- 403,000 searches for "home for sale" "6 car garage"
- 149,000 searches for "home for sale" "7 car garage"
These results fly in the face of what we would have expected. Before doing the survey we thought that "3 car garage" would probably dominate. But hold on, "3 car garage" was actually the weakest entry with even fewer searches than "homes for sale" "7 car garage". And who would have thought "4 car garage" would blow away the competition with more than 5 times as many searches as the next closest competitor, another shocker "1 car garage".
Generally we see more online search interest in 2 car and 3 car garage plans than any others, so we assume those are the most popular among the U.S. population. It just goes to show you one more time, don't guess when it comes to the U.S. consumer.
