As with any investment, it’s a good idea to always be mindful of the value of your property. Essentially, that means keeping an eye on market trends. Using available statistics, we can help identify desirable home features and trends. Staying in touch with those trends will help you understand the value of your home and the types of projects worth potential investment.
For example, millennials are emerging as the largest demographic of buyers, and they often identify “smart technology” such as newer security systems and smart appliances and fixtures as important features. Ecofriendly and energy-saving features will also increase buyer interest in today’s market, especially as electric car chargers become more common, and as climate extremes increase demand for more efficient HVAC systems. Of course, today’s buyers are still seeking long-time desirables such as upgraded kitchens and bathrooms.
So, whether you’re looking to attract a certain type of buyer, deciding whether to invest in a specific home improvement, or simply reviewing the value of your investments, let’s discuss today’s trends and how they might impact your home’s value.
