Would you like to sell your house? Or do you remember to move? Then you may be wondering what makes a home most desirable in the current market. While house trends come and go, there are some who make a house more comfortable and luxurious who “buy” more than others. We were excited to see what functions buyers are looking for on the current real estate market, which is why we spoke to several experts for their knowledge behind the scenes. Here are the 12 features that the rooms are looking for, and for which rooms are they most attractive to sell your house quickly and increase your property value.
Increased outdoor spaces
Increased rooms are one of the top features. “Terraces, decks, fireplaces and covered verands have become unnecessary verandas,” says Kathy Brothers, broker and founder of Kathy Brothers. Buyers want places to relax, align friends or simply drink their morning coffee outside. A well -designed outside area extends the living area and adds immediate lifestyle value. ”
Turnkey interiors
But while the focus outside of rooms is a top focus for buyers, our experts should not neglect the interior of their house if they think of the sale. The update of your interiors in order to make them “ready to move in” is also in great demand in order to calm down faster than ever before. Bridget Bass, a new building expert at Compass in Broward and Palm Beach County, Florida, says: “The buyers are no longer willing to pay top dollars for houses that require work. Even small projects such as the tying of walls and baseboards switch off the buyers.” So if your home still has worktops from the 70s (like my old home), it is time to transform the space into something that buyers want.
Layouts with several companies and guest suites
Do you remember to add a place for several generations or a guest suite to your home? It turns out that this can be an enormous payment because buyers are looking for houses with this function. “The trend of life with several generations is at a whole time. In order to combat today's lower affordability, more families choose to combine households with children, parents and grandparents who live under one roof,” says Bass. “Guest suites on the first floor, connected casitas, guest houses, 'mother-in-suites' or bilot bedrooms are becoming increasingly popular for their flexibility and privacy.”
Kitchen chiefs kitchens
What is a list of home without mentioning the kitchen? Of course, this popular space is still a high focus for buyers of homes with kitchens, which must now be more luxurious than ever. “Buyers prioritize kitchens that combine luxury with practical ability. They are looking for increased surfaces, high -performance devices and layouts that were developed for both cooking and connection,” says Caroline Bean, the broker for compass in Houston, Texas. “Think of oversized islands, intelligent storage space and seamless indoor and outdoor drainage.
Sculleries or Butler's pantry
Together with a large, extensive cuisine, our experts say that Sculleries and Butler's storage chambers are another top feature buyer on the current market. These make kitchens even more modern and luxurious. Noa Levy, a real estate agent in Austin, Texas, says: “This is back and more popular than ever. We have seen an increase in Butler's food chamber in order to be able to entertain without having a chaos in your kitchen and keeping your open space clean for entertainment.”
Increased primary suites
Updating the kitchen, the flex room and the outdoor living area is a good idea to modernize your home, but our experts say that an updated primary suite should not be forgotten! “Luxury today means living capacity,” says Bean. “Primary suites that feel like a retreat with generous proportions, beautiful surfaces and spa-like baths are at the top of the wish list. Buyers are pulled by rooms that increase everyday life and create moments of peace in the house.”
Home office
Do you already have an office in your house? Then you have a feature that our experts say, one of the most real estate in real estate buyers. “I think this trend will not disappear,” says Levy. “The new way of working from home or from a hybrid model has created a relocation to more detached work area that are private and separated from the rest of the home reports in order not to disturb the rest of family life. Whether it is a dedicated home office or a shed outdoors is still trends!”
Wooden floors
Guess what? Wooden floors are still in the wooden floors and attractive for potential buyers. If you have floors that have to be updated or replaced, says Darren Robertson, the founder and broker at the Northern Virginia Home Pro, the move to wooden floors to make your home more desirable for buyers. “With regard to more traditional home features, wooden floors are currently very popular with buyers. Natural wood floors are the most sought-after diversity for their visual attraction, but even laminate and vinyl art wood floors are attractive for buyers,” he says.
Flex rooms
Do you know that an empty room in the house with which you have not done anything (apart from your warehouses)? It is time to transform this into a space buyer who can imagine as a home fitness studio, an additional living room, a play room or a guest room. “A trend towards flexible rooms such as a gym, a media room, a play room or a guest suite is still a trend and buyers have additional rooms that can meet your needs,” says Levy. “These” flex “areas allow buyers to adapt their livelihood, the weather, a craft room, a cinema, a wellness room, the art studio and adaptability.”
Smart Home Technology
Updating the technology of your house on Smart System is another feature that Robertson says that your home seems more attractive for the buyers to facilitate maintenance and potential energy savings. “Smart Home technologies such as app-controlled HLK systems, digital security solutions and smart lighting installations have been becoming more and more popular for several years. Modern systems with which homeowners can check in things during the outs, block the doors for HVAC and lighting systems for modern buyers, while at the same time they have the costs for consumption and the associated energy consumption and the associated costs. ”
Boutique style primary cabinet
We all dream of a spacious walk -in wardrobe to store our endless amount of clothing, shoes and accessories, but have you ever thought about increasing your closet even more? According to Malina Bercher, a real estate agent with Aperture Global Real Estate in Texas Hill Country, the “boutique style” wardrobe can be a winner to land a quick sale. “Storage is no longer useful, the luxury. The buyers prefer primary suites with double walk-in cupboards, often with custom-made installations, island offices and beautifully illuminated display shelves for their articles,” she says.
Mudrooms
We always loved a good mud room that offers additional storage space and space to take off your shoes before tracking mud into the house. And apparently buyers are still looking for mudrooms. “Mudrooms and areas that create a seamless transition from the garage to the living rooms are still very attractive for buyers,” says Levy. “Today's buyers want a clean environment. It is therefore important to create a room to catch all the disorder. This applies especially to younger families.”
