Features that buyers have come to expect
There are many features that buyer's are looking for when they are searching for their new home. But here are just a few:
~ Location will probably always be the number 1 feature a buyer is looking for.
~ Exterior features - I have had client's come to a property & based on the outside appearance decide they do not want to go any further. OR I have seen some listings overlooked because they lacked curb appeal.
~ Updated fixtures - updating lights, door handles, hinges & cabinet handles can be an inexpensive way to give a space a little bit more detail. Choosing a great lighting piece can also help transform a room!
~ Fresh paint - Something about that new paint smell or maybe the feeling of cleanliness. It can really change the entire attitude of a room or even make it feel brighter and cleaner.
~ Updated Appliances - Every buyer now seems to have expectations that they are going to find a home with shiny newer and updated appliances.
~ Staged Homes - Sometimes buyer's have a hard time invisioning space or how their items might fit into a space. Or you could have extra spaces that a new buyer may not know what to do with. Having your home staged could help you sell for more & faster!
