If you’re thinking about selling your home and you’re wondering what the best and worst features of your home are in the eyes of potential buyers, look no further. We’re going to talk about that today.

If you have laminate kitchen countertops, that’s something you should consider replacing. Today’s buyers want granite, quartz, or another similar solid surface. Today’s buyers also want laminate or hardwood flooring.

Also, if you have a room that’s unused, such as a sunroom or a media room, let’s make that space more of a multi-purpose one. Maybe it can function as those things, but also as a bedroom or lounge area.

Today’s buyers don’t use or care about whirlpool tubs.

If you have a whirlpool tub, know that today’s buyers don’t really want or use them. If you have an opportunity to do a remodel, replacing the big tub with a nice shower is a smart idea. Outdoor kitchen and fireplaces aren’t as popular as they used to be either.

Finally, neighborhood walking trails are not a selling feature that really registers on people’s radars anymore.
