Home sellers have a lot more control over the home buying process than they think. There are certain things buyers typically want in a home which the sellers have control over. Here are three things that most of today’s buyers want:

1. Curb appeal. They want to be able to pull into the driveway with a sense of pride, and they want the first impressions of others to be the same. Good landscaping and groundskeeping are important. Planting grass right now is a good idea if you have any bare spots. It’s been raining so much you probably won’t have to water a lot.

2. Space. We have very few people who are looking for a smaller home. Most buyers, especially move-up buyers, are looking for extra space. Therefore, we need to maximize the space you already have. We do this by getting rid of all the knick knacks and extra furniture.

Very few people are looking for a smaller home.

3. Updates. This is probably the No.1 thing buyers are looking for. They aren’t necessarily looking for a brand-new home, but they are looking for pride of ownership. If you’ve updated the home consistently over the years, it will stand out in the buyer’s mind. Fixtures, counters, and flooring are all things you can replace that won’t break the bank, but will increase your final sale price.

If you have any questions for me about what else buyers in this market are looking for or if you’re interested in buying or selling a home, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.
