Home Features Buyers Seek
The housing market is always there, and sometimes it may take a little more effort to stand out from the crowd if you're thinking of selling.
Knowing what Buyers might like, and making a few smart updates, will make your home more marketable and improve your selling price.
Here’s what potential Buyers might be looking for.
1. Safety Features
Consider upgrading your garage door or front door, adding an alarm system, or repairing your fence. Anything that improves the safety and security of your home is an automatic value-add.
2 Energy-Efficient Enhancements
Making your home more energy-efficient has a two-fold benefit - It helps the environment, and cuts down on utility bills. Most Buyers are happy to pay extra for both.
3. Plenty of Storage
Storage space is always worth a premium. If you can, find ways to add additional storage to your property before listing it, maybe with a set of garage shelves, a closet system, or a more streamlined pantry.
4. Functional Fun
Can you make your home more enjoyable? This might mean building a theater area, adding an outdoor kitchen, or installing a small fire pit in the backyard. Outdoor areas are particularly essential to most people.
5. Health-Forward Add-Ons
Homes equipped with no-touch faucets, mudrooms, air filtration systems, and other health and comfort-focused items, are sure to align with modern Buyers’ needs.
Make sure any modifications align with your affordability. And of course, it’s vital to keep up with your home’s general maintenance, and repairs that may be necessary.
