What Buyers Want
Published August 7th, 2006 in Buyers, Design and Decor, Repair and RenovationWith much of the leverage in the real estate market swinging to buyers, they have become more demanding in their lists of must-haves for potential homes. High-end upgrades like walk-in closets and stone countertops are essential in new homes, but different groups of buyers focus on different things. Many younger buyers are looking for more space for home offices, an attached garage spot, larger rooms, and multiple bathrooms.

You may not be able to add an extra room, but small renovations and a good job of staging can help put your home’s best face forward.
