Five features buyers want
When you are selling your home, it pays to know your audience. While each buyer might have a unique wish list, there are some common trends that we see again and again. So, what features do home buyers want? Here are just a few that top the list:
Home office
Many people work from home at least occasionally, if not full time. As a result, home office space is in high demand. If your listing doesn't have a room dedicated to an office function, stage one room or inviting corner as an office. Show buyers how easily they can work in your home.
Technology
A recent study showed that young buyers will pay more for smart home technology, from home security to connected garage doors and thermostats. If your home has these features, highlight them prominently.
A nice kitchen
Kitchens continue to sell homes. People spend a lot of time in a kitchen, cooking, eating and entertaining, so they want it to look nice and to function well. You don't have to have a high-end kitchen to make the deal, but buyers need to see the potential in the space at the very least.
Outdoor space
In a beautiful place like Steamboat, especially, outdoor space is high on buyers' wish lists. Play up any and all outdoor space in your home, even if it's a small balcony with just enough room for two chairs. No outdoor space to speak of? Point out al the nearby recreation options, the view, the light from the big windows. Buyers want to feel like part of the mountain setting here.
Great neighborhood
Location still reins over everything else for most buyers. Safe, friendly communities with good schools are some of the must-haves many buyers seek, so make sure they know how great your neighborhood is. Work with your real estate agent to market not only your home, but its surrounding community.
