What are some of the 2021 real estate web design trends?
Here are the five core concepts that you can use as inspiration when starting your new real estate website:
1. Parallax Animation
A trend in 2020 that seems to be doubling down in 2021 is parallax animation.
This trend refers to the motion and movement of your website. In this situation, motion does not refer to videos on your website. You won’t be needing a hire a professional video editor for your website.
Parallax animation actually refers to the continuity of motion and movement on your website as you scroll through a webpage. As this trend continues to evolve through 2021, you will begin to see that animations are getting a lot more complex. Web designers are now utilizing multiple layers to illustrate animations a lot more clearly.
2. Nemorphism
Simply put, it’s the successor to flat design.
If you can recall, back in 2010 Windows did its best to present a minimalist design with most of the iconography and shapes that they utilized. It seems that designers are now looking to bring back flat designs but with a modern touch and flair.Â
The goal of nemorphism is to make flat icons look realistic by turning them into 3D objects.Â

3. Scrolling Transformations
This trend essentially is when you scroll down a web page.
Imagine that as you scroll down a web page, the colors will change as well. It could also be the shapes of an object that transforms as you scroll down. It can even be the entire layout of the page that transforms.Â
The concept behind this is that scrolling is really one of the most subtle forms of interaction or engagement within a website. Scrolling transformations will really ramp up the visuals of the experience. Ultimately, this will provide a unique user experience for every site visitor that you have as they scroll down through your webpage.Â
Just like with any other story, the idea here is that you are trying to convey a story for your user by creating a beginning, a middle, and an end of the story as they scroll through the webpage.
This revolves around the concept of not simply creating a web page that has a bunch of information on it but rather creating a user experience that engages and immerses a visitor in that experience.
For real estate websites, try to picture visiting one of your listings where the whole experience is immersive on a single web page. Remember that you have to keep your visitors and potential customers engaged.

5. Video Backgrounds
In previous years, we’ve seen how utilizing video backgrounds as well as using large typography has trended. In 2021 however, the new trend is merging both those concepts and essentially creating a hero section to a website that utilizes large typography and video as the call to action.Â
Final Thoughts
It is important to remember that these trends are not set in stone and are completely subjective. Try to look for inspiration everywhere in order to make it uniquely yours. Note down things that you find cool or innovative and incorporate bits and pieces of those when developing or revamping your real estate website.
