It’s home-buying’s busiest season of the year, and today’s buyers are more discerning than ever.

What are 2019 home buyers on the hunt for? They want:

  • Large, open kitchens with islands and bar seating
  • Classic, easy-to-clean wood and laminate flooring
  • Durable quartz and marble countertops
  • Spacious closets and plenty of storage space
  • Stainless steel or all black appliances
  • White, grey or light-colored cabinetry
  • Cover front and back patios, decks and other outdoor areas for entertaining

Many of these items make for easy, affordable DIY projects. If you’re considering putting your home on the market, you might think about a quick renovation or two to add value before listing the property.
