Before you sell your home, it’s important to be in tune with what today’s buyers are looking for — and this is even more essential in the highly competitive luxury market.
Knowing what buyers want can help us price your property appropriately, and it gives you the opportunity to make smart upgrades that could potentially make your home more marketable.
Are you planning to sell? Here are some home features that can help you compete in a hot luxury real estate market.
Unique Finishes: Nontraditional finishes are big this year, particularly terrazzo floors and soapstone countertops. Homes with terrazzo elements may even sell for 2.6% more, according to a Zillow report.
Smart Technology: Installing smart tech can make a home more marketable to buyers. Video doorbells, whole-home audio systems, leak detection technology and smart thermostats are just a few options to consider.
Entertainment Features: Homes that have built-in entertaining and activity areas are popular with today’s buyers, particularly those who like to host guests. Think outdoor kitchens, pickleball courts, putting greens, saltwater pools, movie theaters and similar items.
Chef-Level Kitchens: Leveled-up kitchens are a big deal, too, especially steam ovens, professional-grade appliances and pizza ovens. The recent Zillow report shows that they could potentially add more than 5% to your home’s sale price.
There are many ways to prepare a home for a successful sale. To learn more about selling your home (and all things real estate), get in touch today.
