When you’re determining how much you should list your home for, it’s important to consider what will appeal to home buyers. Certain features are more desirable than others, and buyers are often willing to pay more money for a home that has one or more of these.
These are some of the options home buyers look for the most:
- Stainless steel appliances. These appliances provide aesthetic appeal in kitchens. While buyers with small children might not necessarily want these, roughly 41 percent of buyers are willing to pay around $1,850 more for a home with stainless steel appliances.
- Central air conditioning. Roughly 69 percent of buyers will pay around $2,520 more for a home with central air. This type of cooling system makes homes more comfortable, especially those in warmer climates.
- Walk-in closet in the master bedroom. Around 60 percent of buyers are willing to pay an extra $1,350 for a home with a huge closet in the master bedroom. Big closets are a major draw for many buyers, especially those who are between 35 and 54 years old. A walk-in closet provides additional storage space and serves as a status symbol.
- Hardwood floors. Roughly 54 percent of buyers will pay $2,080 more for a home with hardwood floors. This is especially true for buyers who are under 55 years old, while older buyers generally prefer carpeted floors. Buyers usually want hardwood floors because they’re more convenient to clean and look nicer if they've been well-maintained.
If your home has any of the options home buyers look for, make sure you draw attention to those in the listing information. Doing so will make it easier to attract buyers.
