DENVER — CONTENT SPONSORED BY Oakwood Homes
Buying a new home is a big proposition. In Colorado, the tight housing market is making buyers carefully consider their “wants” and their “needs” in a new home.
The latest What Home Buyers Really Want survey reveals the top 10 features buyers are looking for:
1. Laundry Rooms: Positioning laundry rooms strategically between the hallway and master suite is smart and efficient. Creatively planning extra room for folding and ironing a plus.
2. Energy Saving Appliances: For more and more home buyers, energy efficiency has moved from a “want” to a “need.” Energy Star rated appliances are standard in many new home builds.
3. Home Storage: With smaller homes gaining popularity intelligent storage solutions are in demand. The advice is to build in, not out, converting wall space into storage space.
4. Open Kitchens: No surprise that 86% of home buyers prefer open kitchen and dining areas.
5. Hardwood Flooring: 66% of homeowners would want hardwood flooring in their dream home with wood-like flooring gaining in popularity.
6. A Patio: The line between indoor and outdoor living is blurring. What used to be a relatively unused slab of concrete has become vital living space and a colorful extension of the home.
