Three things you (think you) need in your next home
Scott P. Rogers
The following three features or attributes of a home are wonderful to have in a house, but I believe there is a disconnect between how much buyers want these things, and how much they they use them.
For many buyers, a whirlpool tub in the master bathroom is a must! But I hear from a lot of sellers that they never used their whirlpool tub.
Buyers are always impressed if the windows in a home can be tilted in to be cleaned. But sellers often admit that they rarely (if ever) actually took advantage of that easy opportunity for cleaning.
If a backyard has a bit of slope to it, buyers start to shy away from it, longing for a perfectly level backyard for endless hours of sporting fun with their children. But as a seller pointed out to me yesterday, they rarely see children outside in their neighborhood taking advantage of such a yard.
What do you think? Are these three items essentials? Are they overrated? What else captivates a buyer's attention when they are buying a house, and then is quickly forgotten or taken for granted once they own the house?
