In a market that is as fast-paced and active as this market, it is essential that you do all you can to make your home more attractive to buyers. Special features will make your listing stand out, interest people at open houses and even help you get more offers.
Your agent will help you highlight your home’s best features as she helps you list, promote and show it. But, even if you don’t think there’s anything special about your home, these features are easy to add and can even help you increase your home’s value.
Beautiful Landscaping
Beautiful landscaping is extremely attractive to potential buyers. Now that the weather is warming up, give your landscaping a makeover so your home will look its best. Add plants, make sure your yard is healthy and add something extra like outdoor seating, a pathway, a water feature or even a barbecue grill.
“Green” Features
“Green,” or environmentally friendly features, also attract buyers. Things like efficient appliances, solar panels, energy-efficient windows and low-flow water fixtures add to your home’s value and make it stand out. Before you list your Natick home for sale update your home’s features and appliances to energy efficient models wherever possible.
New Appliances
Who isn’t attracted to new appliances? One of the easiest ways to give your home a boost is to install new appliances so buyers will be attracted to the thought of having appliances that work well, are new models and won’t need to be replaced any time soon. Combine this tip with the idea of adding energy-efficient appliances to make an even bigger statement.
Kitchen Island
Lots of buyers are looking for functional, spacious kitchens with plenty of counter space and storage. Make this a reality in your kitchen by adding an island. This feature makes your kitchen feel more professional and will really make it stand out in buyers’ minds as they tour homes.
Updated Bathroom
Buyers pay special attention to bathrooms, especially the master bath. Grab their attention by making sure your bathroom is in great condition, has good lighting and that the flooring and tile are in good shape. Installing new fixtures, like faucets, showerheads, and sinks, can also make a huge difference.
High-Tech Security System
Security systems are something buyers look for and installing one in your home is a quick and easy way to make it more attractive. Find a system that uses modern technology and has things like door alarms, an interface that is easy to use and security cameras. Be sure to highlight this in your listing and during your open houses to interest buyers.
An Extra Room
Another thing buyers love to see is extra space. Turn an extra bedroom or even an office into a multi-purpose room by using neutral décor and minimal furniture. Make sure your agent shows the room as a space that can be used as a guest bedroom, home office, library, entertainment room, hobby room or anything else the buyer needs.
Adding some special features to your home will make it stand out in the market and generate more interest, which could lead to more offers and even a higher selling price. For more tips on how to make your home stand out, visit the Christine Norcross & Partners website.
