While it might sound counterintuitive to think about future selling features of a custom home that you have not yet even built, it is typically a good idea to consider what can add to – and detract from – you getting the most whenever that time eventually comes.
Five of the primary items to consider include the following:
- Kitchen
- Bathroom(s)
- Flooring
- Energy efficient options
- “Smart” technology
When it comes to kitchens and baths, these are areas that many potential future purchasers will look at first. In this case, while some of the more prevalent components are the counters, appliances, and sinks, it is also important to consider the “little” things, too, such as faucets, cabinet handles, and trims, as these can help to tie the whole room together.
Another key item to pay attention to is flooring. Over the past few years, options have greatly expanded – with many of the vinyl and laminate alternatives providing ease and convenience when it comes to keeping them clean and maintaining their shine.
Energy efficient options are becoming more important to potential homeowners, too, as these can help to save a significant amount of money on heating and cooling costs – especially over the long-term time horizon.
Likewise, “smart” technology has become extremely popular for new (and existing) homeowners. Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S. hard in early 2020, more individuals are working from home – and a significant number do not intend to return to the traditional office setting. Therefore, wi-fi and other high-tech availability is a must.
