Boost your odds for a successful resale down the road with these four essentials
If you're buying an investment property, buying your first home or buying your dream house it's important to think about the amenities. If you plan wisely and purchase a property with these following "in-demand" amenities then when you go to sell you will be able to tip the resale scale in your favor.
#1: The Coolest House on the Block
Most buyers want a cool house-literally, a cool house. In a National Association of Realtors survey, almost 75% of the people ranked it as a "very important" house feature. Being that adding central air is pricey it's probably not something you are going to want to have to add later if you change your mind. So if you know the area where you are moving can have hot or even warm weather, strongly consider buying a house that has central air.
#2: Essential Storage
Most Americans like their stuff and want to have room to store it. Over half of buyers say that having a garage with two or more bays is very important. Buyers also love walk in closets in the master bedroom and ample storage throughout the house (i.e. hallway linen closet, hallway cupboards, kitchen pantry or ample cupboards, etc.).
Check back tomorrow for #3 and #4 in-demand amenities to look for.
