2013 Home Buyers Love These Top Features

How can you get more money for your Tallahassee home?  Simple – give potential buyers the home they will love the most.  So, how do you “wow” those buyers?  The Nation Association of Realtor's Home Features Survey provides some insight into what today’s home buyers are looking for:

1.        Kitchens are extremely important to home buyers.  Make sure your kitchen is updated, clean, and efficient.  An “eat-in” kitchen layout was the most important feature.  20% of buyers said granite counters were very important to them.  17% said stainless appliances were very important.  53% of all buyers undertook a renovation project after buying, and the kitchen was the area most buyers renovated.

2.        Almost half of all buyers thought a dedicated laundry room was a very important feature in a home.  Make sure your laundry room has newer appliances.  Don’t go overboard with top-of-the-line units just to sell a home – you will get a better return with new, moderate range models. 

3.        The rooms that had the highest dollar amount buyers were willing to pay extra for were mother-in-law suites and basements.  Buyers are looking for usable space that is flexible to serve a number of purposes.
