As a first-time homebuyer, it’s understandable that you would be very selective about the home you purchase. This is likely the largest financial investment you’ve made in your life so far so you want to ensure you’re going to get exactly what you want. That’s why, as a seller, it’s important to be aware of the most desirable features for buyers. Check out the five below.
Location. This one should come as no surprise. Location has always been key. Buyers are looking for low crime rates and nearby stores. Families with young children are looking for great schools and parks nearby. Young professionals are looking for easy access to work, restaurants, and nightlife.
Extra storage. A garage with floor space and shelves. An extra bedroom that can be converted. A backyard shed. Or a closet under the stairs. Adequate storage space is highly sought after.
Updated kitchen and bathroom. Many buyers are in the market for high-end, modern appliances, finishes, countertops, and more in their kitchens and bathrooms.
Large patio or backyard. This feature may make or break a first homeowner’s decision to purchase. Many times, these buyers are coming from smaller living spaces like apartments and are looking for a place to entertain guests, enjoy the fresh air, and play with kids or pets.
Smart appliances. These have been on the rise for years and aren’t going away anytime soon. Homeowners are looking for these devices to help them save money on energy, connect with friends and family, secure their home, and add convenience.

You’ve found your dream home and now it’s time to cross all your T’s and dot all your I’s before it’s all your own. And one of the first items on your closing checklist is the home appraisal. So, what exactly is that?
The home appraisal is essentially a value assessment of the home and property. It is conducted by a certified third party and is used to determine whether the home is priced appropriately.
During a home appraisal, the appraiser conducts a complete visual inspection of the interior and exterior of the home. He or she factors in a variety of things, including the home’s floor plan functionality, condition, location, school district, fixtures, lot size, and more. An upward adjustment is generally made if the home has a deck, a view, or a large yard. The appraiser will also compare the home to several similar homes that were sold within the last six months in the area.
The final report must include a street map showing the property and the ones’ compared, photographs of the interior and exterior, an explanation on how the square footage was calculated, market sales data, public land records, and more.
After it is complete, the lender uses the information found to ensure that the property is worth the amount they are investing. This is a safe-guard for the lender as the home acts as collateral for the mortgage. If the buyer defaults on the mortgage and goes into foreclosure, the lender generally sells the home to recover the money borrowed.
