This week I present articles on keeping your home “in shape and up-to-date.” I include an updated “Who To Call” sheet that now includes: appliance repair, photography, odor elimination, electrician, and garage door repair. Two National Association of Realtors article suggest what items buyers are looking for in homes today. (in case you are updating your home.) And included is a list of Ultimate Smart Home Series Guide.
Buyers are looking for key features, including open floor plans, and smart home technology in their new homes. They include Smart home features: like facial recognition for doors, smart lights and outlets to control appliances from a smartphone app. “They desire top of the line appliances: To make a home more attractive: modern open floor plans, an outdoor kitchen, saltwater pool, upgraded homeowner suite complete with luxury spa bath, walk-in closet with built-in storage, sitting area and potentially access to an outdoor space.”
In another National Association of Realtors article, these are the key features that buyers are prioritizing around the house: laundry room, patio, energy star windows, exterior lighting, ceiling fans, garage storage, front porch, hardwood flooring, full bath on the main level, energy star appliances, walk-in pantry, landscaping and table space in the kitchen.
