I think that Debbie has really outlined several key items that Buyers are looking for. Many times we forget the little things that buyers are looking for, please read on... 

Via Debbie Atwood (Century 21 Real Estate Center Everett, WA):

7 Important features home buyers are looking for.  

From 1950 to 2004 the average sq footage of a home rose 140%.  The "McMansions" are a thing of the past. Practicality is "in"  - in 2010.  Homeowners are looking for homes that will compliment their lifestyles, many of which have been down graded recently due to the current economic uncertainty. Features that home buyers are looking for include open floor plans that combine a large kitchen with the living areas bringing families closer together and rooms that offer flexibility and simplicity.  Check the list below for more home features most popular with today's home buyers.  

1. A large kitchen with an island is most favorable among home buyers in the market today.  If you are getting your home ready to sell and want to know where your dollar is going to get most value - it's the kitchen.  

2.  For home buyers that are moving into their "next" home,granite counter tops are important.  First time buyers will forgive this feature.  

3.  Energy efficiency is an important feature for home buyers.  Windows, insulation and appliances.  Go green has been popular recently but most especially with these items. Programmable thermostats are a plus.

4. The home office gets an A+ in the important features most desired with access to internet and cable wiring.

5.  A Main floor master bedroom has gained even more ground recently. 

6.  Soaking tubs and large showers are important.  The tubs don't have to be jetted anymore.   

7.  A Two car garage.  

In small communities such as senior living type communities and condominium communities, walking paths and playgrounds are favorites on the Important features list for home buyers.

Charlottesville Virginia is the number one place to retire according to Kiplinger!

Striking a balance between a high quality of life and low cost of living can be a difficult challenge for retirees. With that in mind, we offer five destinations that seniors might find attractive places to live in the second half of their lives.


Charlottesville, Va.

City Population: 41,225
Metro Population: 196,766
Cost-of-Living Index: 107.5 (national average = 100)
Median Household Income: $56,833
Income-Tax Exemptions: No state tax on Social Security benefits; income deductions of up to $12,000 for residents 65 and older, subject to income-eligibility limits
Proximity to Airport: Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport (10 miles from downtown)

Home of Thomas Jefferson and the University of Virginia, Charlottesville is a charming Southern city with an impressive array of cultural draws. Several prime art museums and a pedestrian mall can be found in the city’s neo-Classical downtown, while the Monticello Wine Trail and Shenandoah National Park are close by. It's also two hours from Washington, D.C.

Discussing Charlottesville Real Estate and Homes with Charles (fell a tree)

 

This morning I am off to meet a tree expert to "fell a few trees" on a clients property.

We will be building soon and it is better to take care of these trees now before they become a bigger issue.

I think real estate involves a lot more than just putting a sign in a yard!

Enjoy the fine weather!
