5 Things Buyers Look For in a Home

If you are a homeowner who has ever tried to sell their house, you probably already know that buyers who come to view your home are more likely to rip it apart based on what your home doesn't have. This is important information to know if you plan on selling your home so that you know where you stand in the competition. Here is a list of the top features current buyers are looking for in a property in today's market.


1. Updated kitchen appliances - Buyers absolutely dread walking into their dream home with a gorgeous foyer and dining room… only to find a kitchen with ancient appliances. I believe this is probably the top sinker that will turn off any buyer from a home. Buyers are looking for updated, modern, and preferably stainless steel appliances.






2. Hardwood floors - It shouldn't come as a surprise that buyers do not want vinyl floors, but what may come as a surprise is that many aren't too fond of carpeting, either. The truth is, hardwood and even ceramic tile flooring are easier to clean and maintain, especially on the lower level of a home.





3. Master bedroom - Buyers want a large master bedroom with a connected master bath. This setup allows for ease of mobility in-between rooms and the greatest use of space. However, buyers would rather have an unconnected master bath than a small master bedroom.





4. Walk-in closets - Storage is very important to home buyers, especially in the bedrooms. Today it is almost expected that each bedroom have a walk-in closet. What really hooks a homebuyer is a set of his-and-hers walk-in closets in the master bedroom!




5. Separated bathtub and shower - Buyers look for large master bathrooms with a separate tub and large shower. Although shower/tub combos are convenient for buyers with children, most would like a separate walk-in shower with plenty of space to move around in.
