When it comes to selling a house, there is no doubt that certain features can make a
home more appealing to potential buyers and increase the likelihood of a quick and
successful sale. No home is perfect, so it’s important to make the most of what
your home DOES have instead of what it DOESN’T have!
Let’s explore some of the features that make a house easier to sell.
Good Condition
Buyers love a home that is in good condition because it saves them money, time, and worry. A home that is well-maintained and in good repair is simply more likely to attract buyers. Although this list includes major systems such as a leak-free roof, and updated plumbing and electrical systems, other maintenance items are important, too. Buyers notice scuffed baseboards, cabinet doors that don’t hang properly, and bathroom caulk that needs replacing. A house in good condition can
give buyers confidence that they are making a sound investment.
Curb Appeal
First impressions matter and a house with great curb appeal can make a positive
impression on potential buyers. This includes features such as well-maintained
landscaping, a clean and inviting entryway, and a fresh coat of paint. New, modern
house numbers and colorful flowers are a welcoming touch. A home with great
curb appeal can make buyers excited to see what’s inside.
Location
Location is another key feature that can make a house easy to sell. Homes located in desirable neighborhoods, with access to good schools, shopping, and recreation, are likely to be more attractive to buyers. The location of a home can’t be changed, so it’s important to play up the positives of your home’s location.
Updated Features
Homes with updated features can also be more appealing to buyers. Modern
appliances, updated flooring and fixtures, and energy-efficient windows and
insulation can give buyers confidence that they won’t need to make costly updates
or repairs after moving in. If you’ve got it, flaunt it!
Ample Storage
Buyers seek ample storage space in a home. This includes things like closets with organization systems, spacious pantries, and garage space with shelving and cabinets.
Open Floor Plan
An open floor plan is another feature that can make a home easier to sell. Buyers
often look for homes with a flow that makes it easy to entertain guests or keep an
eye on children. A home with an open floor plan can create a sense of spaciousness
and flow that is appealing to buyers.
