Thinking about selling this year? Here’s what today’s buyers are prioritizing (and a few small tweaks that can make a big difference):
✔️ Flexible spaces. Think home office, gym, or guest area.
✔️ Light & bright. Neutral paint, clean lines, and fresh lighting help homes feel move-in ready.
✔️ Outdoor living. Patios, porches, or just a nice spot for coffee — buyers love a yard they can enjoy.
✔️ Energy efficiency. Smart thermostats, updated windows, or newer HVAC = a big win.
