Buyer's Desires


Move-up buyers have desires that go far beyond great rooms with fireplaces. They want a little bit more sizzle with their steak. For instance, no longer satisfied with dark, windowless laundry rooms in the basement, move-up buyers look for second-floor laundry rooms that are closer to bedrooms and the point of need. If possible, a home laundry should be more than a mere addendum to a bathroom. It should be a stand-alone room with counters, cabinets, and a sink. Beyond that, buyers also look to a room dedicated to watching movies, listening to music, and watching TV. These home theatres/listening rooms should be able to accommodate big-screen TVs and be wired for sound, preferably surround sound.

Hint: Mud rooms are also high on move-up buyers' lists of desirable features.

With the availability of low rates and a wide range of mortgage programs available to buyers, it may be the right time to consider 'moving up'. If you currently own, you may find that the price that you can obtain for your property will allow you to upgrade the size and or the style of your current home. At VantagePoint Realty, we are trained to determine the value of your current home and advise you of your options. Call us to arrange for a complimentary market analysis of your property.
