Buying and selling real estate tips

Brought to you by Stephanie Frost of Keller Williams Realty

Real estate agents who work intimately with buyer clients were asked what buyers are asking for. If you are considering a home improvement project that appeals to today’s buyers, here are a few ideas. The top design trends are:

* Open floor plan
* Modern design
* Neutral colors
* First-floor master suite
* No formal dining room
* Extra garage space
* Oversized closet
* White kitchen
* No vinyl flooring

It’s important to include that trends occurring in builds or remodels aren’t usually what buyers of older homes are seeking. It can be a fine line when remodeling an older home to include the new features today’s buyers are looking for while maintaining the charm and unique character of an older home.

Consult a Realtor when considering a remodel. This tip is based on an article from Builder magazine.
