Stagingmate ResearchAverage monthly searches per style in each 12-month window and the change. Growth rankings use the 27 styles with at least 100 searches a month in 2022–23.
Google reports rounded monthly search volumes, and very small volumes show as 10 or nothing, so small states and rare queries are noisy. Google may group close variants of a query. Search volume measures interest, not transactions. Searches for all styles combined changed −29% over the period, against −10% for "homes for sale", so changes are best compared between styles. The plan called for five years; search volume data covers four.
