What Do Home Buyers Want?
First and foremost, home buyers look for Energy Efficiency. The most desired features involve saving energy. These include energy-star rated appliances and windows, and an energy-star rating for the whole home. Nine out of ten buyers would rather buy a home with energy-efficient features and permanently lower utility bills than one without those features that costs 2 percent to 3 percent less.
-
What Specific Items Are On Buyer's Wish List?
Updated Appliances. Your kitchen appliances and appliances such as your furnace and water heater should be modern. It will be even better if they are energy efficient.
-
Solid Surface or Natural Stone Countertops. Solid surface countertops in the kitchen and bathroom are quite popular. Having natural stone countertops, such as granite, can also be a plus, though some buyers don’t want the upkeep associated with natural stone.
-
Hardwood or Ceramic Tiled Floors. Most buyers do not want a home with vinyl tiles and even carpeting is becoming less popular.
-
Master Suites. A master bedroom with a connected bathroom will be sure to get the attention of potential buyers.
-
Walk-In Closets & Storage Space. Walk-in closets are quite popular. Walk-in “his and hers” closets are even better.
-
Whirlpool Tubs. Even though many homeowners don’t use their whirlpool tubs, they still want to have them in their bathroom!
-
Finished Basements. In the past, homebuyers didn't give much thought to basements. Today’s buyers want to see a clean, dry finished basement when looking to make a purchase. If your basement could use some updating, consider a basement remodel.
-
Separated Tub and Shower. Many buyers prefer tubs & showers to be separated. In addition, they want nice, big showers that allow them plenty of room to move around.
-
New Windows Windows are important when it comes to maintaining the indoor climate. Therefore, buyers often look for homes with newer, efficient windows that will help them keep their energy costs down.
