Before taking the dive into homeownership, people shopping for homes consider millions of factors, especially when it comes to interior features. Many people are willing to spend thousands of dollars to achieve the home of their dreams. Below are some of the top 6 features most people are willing to spend extra for:
- A Fireplace
A fireplace adds a cozy feel to any room. More and more real estate agents are suggesting that fireplaces will become increasingly popular as people turn away from TV and more on tablets.
- A Home Less Than 5 Years Old
The simple fact here is that people want a newer home. Something to keep in mind is that maintenance costs are considerably lower in new homes compared to older homes.
- Stainless Steel Appliances
Stainless steel appliances are incredibly trendy right now and more and more people are drawn to their sleek look.
- Hardwood Floors
Hardwood flooring has a variety of advantages including a traditional beautiful style and low maintenance. More than 28% of homeowners say that hardwood flooring is “very important” when looking for a home.
- Granite Countertops
In today’s generation, there has been a huge emphasis on having a beautiful kitchen and granite countertops help achieve that look. Not only are they incredibly durable, they add a unique beauty to any kitchen or bathroom.
- Central Air-Conditioning
In older homes, this may not be an option. In a recent survey, nearly seven out of 10 homeowners said they would be willing to shell out more than $2000 on central air conditioning.
