What are Home Buyers looking For? NAR Says They Know

One in three households plans to move into another residence over the next 5 years, according to The Demand Institute.

There are a lot of people on the move. So what are home buyers looking for?

Two of the main reasons people move are changes in employment and family situations. Another reason is that people simply arent satisfied with their living spaces, according to the National Association of Realtors®.

Disenchanted homeowners are giving up on places they dont want. Instead, theyre investing in properties that they actually like and will enjoy living in.

 

WHAT THE TYPICAL HOMEOWNER DOESN'T LIKE

Most homeowners arent shy about what they dont like in their current homes. Research shows that dissatisfied homeowners feel that their home:

· Is not energy-efficient enough

· Needs serious improvements or renovations

· Is outdated or out of style

· Wont accommodate them as they age

· Features limited storage space

 

Many homeowners also feel that crime rates have risen in their neighborhoods since theyve purchased the home, while others just dont like their neighbors (nosy and noisy are two of the most commonly cited descriptors of bad neighbors).
