Features That Are So Important for the Savvy Buyer 

I totally believe that the Kitchen is the most important room for buyers. Buyers are more selective and have many new developments to visit and find just the perfect home with all the bells and whistles. 

It is important for buyers to make of list of the features important to make sure the home the are considering will meet their needs. Here is a list of top rated features of the modern kitchen.

  • Stainless Appliances

  • Optional Viking Appliances
  • Center Island/ Optional Bar Eating Areas

Beazer Dream Challenge for Home Buyers

The new buyer wants a beautiful home and considers location, floor plan, Home Style (Craftsman, Mission, Tuscan, etc), but the kitchen seems to be the most important feature for most. Many buyers have opted for a great room instead of the formal living/dining room areas to make family gatherings more fun. Also many buyers want a one story floor plan so the entire home flows nicely. 

Builders are serious to give the buyers the new options they truly desire. Many times a buyer will look for months at older homes with no luck and then walk into a new construction home and realize this is their best choice.

Hi Michelle,

My new home has most of these features except a wine frig and all the organizers. They put in one big one for the pans but we have to have a company come and add them to the rest of the cabinets and drawers. We downsized from a 3400 sf home to a 2200 single story. Though we lost a lot of space we got a lot of new features too. Your home must be lovely and I am sure it will sell fast. Thanks for stopping by.

Kristin~ I was surprised by access to laundry room from kitchen. Double ovens are wonderful. We have them in our current home and we use them quite often!

Hi Donna,

It is nice to have the laundry room connecting to the kitchen and garage at the other end. Many times there is a door that can be closed so the noise does not filter through the kitchen and the rest of the house. I really like double ovens and it is so nice when the holidays are here and we can cook double pies, turkey and stuffing at the same time or batches of cookies.
