[Dawson](https://info.bardenbp.com/floor-plans/ranches/dawson)   [![Dawson rendering-2](https://blog.bardenbp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Dawson%20rendering-2.jpg?width=447&name=Dawson%20rendering-2.jpg)](https://info.bardenbp.com/floor-plans/ranches/dawson)   [![Dawson floor plan](https://blog.bardenbp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Dawson%20floor%20plan.jpg?width=466&name=Dawson%20floor%20plan.jpg)](https://info.bardenbp.com/floor-plans/ranches/dawson) Ranch-style homes accounted for more than half of the custom homes built by Barden Independent Dealers in 2019. [The Dawson](https://info.bardenbp.com/floor-plans/ranches/dawson) was the most popular starting point for those customers. It's easy to see why!  The Dawson has a **versatile floor plan**, making it a sound choice for our customers who were looking to** downsize in style**. The home’s key features include: - Flexible, open floor plan - Ample storage - Spacious & accessible master suite - Curb appeal ## 2.) [Magnolia](https://info.bardenbp.com/floor-plans/twostory-1500-2000/magnolia)   [![Magnolia floor plan](https://blog.bardenbp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Magnolia%20floor%20plan.png?width=657&name=Magnolia%20floor%20plan.png)](https://info.bardenbp.com/floor-plans/twostory-1500-2000/magnolia) [The Magnolia](https://info.bardenbp.com/floor-plans/twostory-under2300/magnolia) is the second-most popular custom home built by Barden Independent Dealers in 2019.  A 1,775 sq. ft., 2-story home, the Magnolia is a favorite choice for **growing families** -- it’s been a popular customer choice for the last 5 years. About 1/3 of homes built by Barden dealers are 2-story homes. Featuring an** open and very flexible 1st-floor plan** and** up to 4 bedrooms --** including a **massive master suite** -- this plan packs a TON of large home features into a compact and cost-effective footprint.  We think it looks pretty good too! ## 1.) And the most popular floor plan of the year is...(drum roll).... By an overwhelming margin, the most popular floor plan for a custom home in 2019 was a **customer-supplied plan**! The majority of our customers chose their own starting point from outside of the Barden catalog, whether they: - Found a plan somewhere else - Had a plan drawn by an architect (which we don't recommend, but we can work with) - Put their confidence in our team to create them a custom plan from scratch Even customers who used Dawson or Magnolia plans ended up making substantial modifications to** create a home that suits their needs**. It was an exciting process to work with customers and help them create their dream home.  Customer-supplied floor plans are also a great reminder for us that **custom is king at Barden**!   Dive into what it takes to build your 100% custom Barden home: [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/5010581/b7ec89b6-804b-4109-899f-09592f4c0333.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/5010581/b7ec89b6-804b-4109-899f-09592f4c0333)   Do you have a favorite plan?
