According to a January 2010 Market Watch survey, home buyers look for these 10 features when shopping for their dream home.
- Large kitchens with an island.
- Energy-efficient features. Energy-efficient appliances, high-efficiency insulation, and energy-saving windows.
- Home office or study. The trend is away from dining rooms and toward spare concept rooms.
- Main-floor master suite.
- Outdoor spaces. Visit HGTV.com for ideas on how to transform your back yard to an “outdoor living room.”
- Ceiling fans
- Master suite soaker tubs and oversized showers.
