🏡 Top Home Features That Increase Property Value

When it comes to selling a home, not all upgrades are created equal. While a fresh coat of paint or new carpet can give your home a clean look, there are certain features buyers are actively searching for that can boost your home’s value, and help it sell faster.

Here are some of the most in-demand features right now:

1. White Oak Flooring
Buyers love the warmth and durability of white oak. Its subtle grain and ability to complement a range of interior styles make it a top choice for flooring.

2. Soapstone Countertops
While granite and quartz still hold strong, soapstone is making a big comeback. It's not only durable and beautiful, but also environmentally friendly and low-maintenance.

3. Outdoor Living Spaces
Whether it's a covered patio, built-in fire pit, or an outdoor kitchen, more buyers are prioritizing backyard living, especially post-pandemic.

4. Energy-Efficient Windows and Appliances
Homes that help save money on utility bills are increasingly attractive. Upgrades like double-pane windows, smart thermostats, and ENERGY STAR appliances make a difference.

5. Home Office or Flex Space
With hybrid and remote work here to stay, having a dedicated workspace adds serious appeal to today’s buyers.
