According to research, majority of homebuyers these days are composed of single women, newlyweds, and mobile professionals who are in their 20s and 30s. These are tech savvy people who use and know latest technologies. With the changing trend of homebuyers, so should your home.
Here are home updates to consider if you want to make your property attractive to young buyers according to About Home:
Remove unattractive aspects in your home
As homeowner, you have probably gotten used to your dated furniture and unattractive window treatments. However, young homebuyers can immediately point these weak spots from miles away. Identify the problem areas in your home and make the necessary update. Consider what young homebuyers would actually choose - like, they prefer white or any neutral color for kitchen cabinets instead of oak.
Create a man cave or craft room for buyers' hobbies
Consider that most millenials have habits and interests that they are really into, and by converting a room into a man cave or craft room will let potential young homebuyers know that you had them in mind when you refurbished your home.
Embrace technology
If your home is not yet a "smart home", then it's about time that you consider going for this kind of good investment if you want to attract young homebuyers. A "smart home" is where there are automated appliances, door sensors, smart lighting (just clap and the lights turn on!), and self-programming thermostats. You can upgrade depending on your budget - either choose the most effective gadgets if you have limited funds, or convert the entire house and not just one room if you want to splurge.
Use appealing colors that will entice young couples
Depending on the location of your property, choose colors that young homebuyers will like. If it is in a large, metropolitan area, go for vibrant colors and eclectic décor. But, if you are far from the urban area, stay close to neutral colors if you don't want to drive buyers away. It is also safe to pick appealing colors that somewhat pull in the outdoors as young homebuyers appreciate this color palette.
