For homebuyers, 2012 will be a bonanza of opportunities to purchase the home of their dreams. Since the real estate market is stilll sluggish, builders are offering tons of custom options and upgrades potential buyers want.

The most popular upgrades include stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, lighting fixtures and hardwood floors. Being able to incorporate these options into a newly constructed home is appealing to a homebuyer and gives the builder a definite edge over "finished homes."
