If you’re planning to sell your home - build a front porch first. What buyers want...


Location, location... front porch!

Today’s house hunters are picky and priorities are changing. Consumer Reports has a list of which features they really want to buy:

* Energy efficiency. The giant foyers and cathedral ceilings of the McMansion era are expensive to heat and out of style. Energy Star appliances are a big plus.

* Storage - and lots of it. A linen closet and large pantry are preferred over the whirlpool tub and six-burner stove.

* Outdoor living. A front porch is now one of the most desirable features. Any space outside that can be comfortably utilized is a great selling point.

Location is still a huge factor too. Today’s homebuyers are coming out of the woods and looking for something with a shorter commute.
