Features that buyers have come to expect

Shops, Parks and Highways.

When buying a home, it's essential to prioritize the location, as this can't be changed. Understanding what matters most in a community and choosing the right location is crucial. For example, first-time buyers, especially millennials, often prioritize walkability to downtown areas, highways, and local park trails, and they might be willing to compromise on house size or other features to achieve that. Additionally, different communities have distinct vibes, so choosing one that complements your lifestyle is important.

Smashing Curb Appeal

Curb appeal is another important factor. The exterior of a home and its yard play a significant role in attracting buyers. In a low inventory market, buyers might consider upgrading their yards after purchasing a home. A small yard is often popular as it requires less maintenance, and it's usually just enough for occasional activities.

Hmm TLC?

TLC is a nice word for updates! Considering the condition of the home is also crucial. In a sellers' market, fewer sellers may be willing to take on the expense of certain repairs. Meanwhile, many millennials prefer move-in-ready conditions and don't want to tackle big projects. It's important to have an honest discussion with buyers about the amount of effort and cost they can afford or are willing to pay professionals for. It's advisable to have a detailed home inspection report and, depending on the age and location of the home, a structural engineer's input may also be necessary.
