Top Features Home Buyers look for in a House

Here are the top 10 features that home buyers look for when shopping for a house.

1

A renovated or updated kitchen

A renovated or updated kitchen

The kitchen is seen as the focal point of any house. I want a kitchen that has space, character and warmth. The kitchen is most important to me.

2

A modern or renovated bathroom

A modern or renovated bathroom

Updated fixtures, modern conveniences and a little warmth and space go a long way. A nice bathroom ranks at the top of my list.

Location, Location, Location

Location, Location, Location

Still the top of everyone\'s list is a great location. Safe neighbourhood, close proximity to schools, backing onto a park....everyone has their own idea of a perfect location, but whatever it is.....location is still key, and I need a great location.

5

Updated Windows

Updated Windows

Does the house have old, single-pane sliders, or new and modern tri-pane PVC windows? Are the windows in good condition? Buyers know that replacing windows can be very expensive, so nice modern windows are important to me!

The size of the yard/property

The size of the yard/property

I need room to roam. A back yard where my dog can run and my kids can hide....property size is important to me!

4

Ready To Move-In Condition

Ready To Move-In Condition

Will I need to spend a lot of time and money fixing old mistakes? Or is the house ready to move in. I'm not very handy, and I need a place thats move-in-ready.

6

An updated furnace

An updated furnace

Does the house have a new, modern, high-efficiency furnace, or does it still rely on the 80-yr old boiler which is the size of a small car? I know that replacing a furnace can be a major expense.

7

Size and/or number of the bedrooms

Size and/or number of the bedrooms

I need sufficient bedrooms to house their family. Plus the bedrooms need to be large enough to hold modern-day furniture, such as Kind-sized beds. So the number and size of the bedrooms are of most importance to me

8

Style and layout of the house

Style and layout of the house

Are bungalows more desirable than split-level homes? Some buyers prefer an open layout, or more of a traditional style? Whatever the answer, the style of home is important to me.

9

Getting a good bargain (deal)

Getting a good bargain (deal)

As a buyer, I want a good deal before I make an offer on a house. Saving money is of prime importance to me! I'll only buy if I can get a bargain.

10

A nice, big garage

A nice, big garage

Truth be told, I love my cars..... wouldn\'t want them to suffer outdoors. So a large garage is what gets me excited.
