When it comes to home features, it makes sense that different generations are looking for different things. For example, the must-have features for a first-time Gen X homebuyer are going to be different from the needs of a Baby Boomer looking for the perfect retirement home. That being said, there are certain home features that have multigenerational appeal. So what, exactly, are those home features?
A recent report from the National Association of Home Builders identified the top home features that resonate across generations, including:
Laundry rooms
Exterior lighting
Ceiling fans
Patios
Walk-in pantries
The Takeaway:
If you are selling your home, it is important to know which features have the widest appeal; that way, you can frame your home in a way that highlights the most universally appealing features—and attract potential buyers from all generations.
