There are a lot of major factors people consider when buying a particular home, like size, location, or, for buyers who have children, the school district. But sometimes, it’s not the major factors that make buyers decide to make an offer on a property, it’s actually the small things, and if you’re planning to sell, it’s important to know what those things are.
So what, exactly, are the small things that can make a buyer choose your home over another one? A recent article from realtor.com outlined small details that can help buyers fall in love with your home, including:
- A cappuccino station. For many would-be home buyers, coffee isn’t just something they drink in the morning; it’s a way of life. And for those buyers, a dedicated cappuccino station complete with everything they’d need to make high-end drinks at home (including a high-end espresso machine) can be the feature that makes them picture themselves living in the home, and make an offer on the property.
- A skylight. Skylights not only let in natural light during the day, but they also give homeowners access to the stars in the night hours. For buyers that appreciate a view, that can be a serious selling point.
- Unique exterior color. Many homes are painted in the same neutral shades, like grays and browns, thanks to their near universal appeal. But some homeowners are looking for something different, and are more drawn to homes painted in a unique exterior hue, like a bright purple or yellow.
