In a previous post, I talked about one aspect of real estate being a local thing. Today I'd like to talk about another aspect.
In a Q & A, someone asked if you still watch HGTV. I don't think many agents watch House Hunters, because we live it every day (though we dream of having buyers choose after only 3 houses!). One thing interesting about House Hunters is what features buyers expect at different price points in different parts of the country.
For example, in the Minneapolis/St Paul area, buyers expected granite and hardwood, even in $150,000 homes. Here in my corner of Wisconsin, I don't find granite in $300,000+ homes, which are considered higher end homes here.
For those of you who have changed markets, have you found any differences in features? Or have you had buyers who expected a feature not found in their price range, perhaps due to a home buying TV program?
