Exterior Home Features Buyers Want in Augusta
Home buyers know which features they want to see in Augusta homes for sale—do you? As a seller, you want to position your home for success, but this means more than just updating the kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces. Even though interior features like smart appliances and gorgeous countertops do entice buyers to purchase your home, you can't forget that buyers also desire fantastic exterior features. Our real estate agents want to help you get the most of your home, that's why we've identified the top five exterior features buyers desire in their new Augusta homes.
- Energy Efficient Windows
Summers in Augusta can reach temperatures in the 80s, while winter can drop those numbers into the teens. Attractive-looking windows can increase curb appeal, but if they aren't energy efficient, they aren't a buyer's first choice. Energy efficient windows regulate the heat that enters and exits the home. Old windows that aren't energy efficient or are in poor condition are one of the most common issues found during a home inspection. These features are expensive to replace, which means that buyers are willing to pay more for a home with new energy efficient windows to save themselves the hassle. - Exterior Lighting
If you're looking for a bright idea that will increase your home's value, consider exterior lighting. This addition blends function and aesthetic, improving the safety and visibility of the exterior while showcasing your home in a dazzling way. Illuminated pathways, landscaping and hardscaping around your yard increases the nighttime curb appeal of the home, making buyers feel welcomed before they even step foot inside. As one of the most popular outdoor features, exterior lighting allows homeowners to utilize their outdoor space into the night.
- Outdoor Entertaining Space
Augusta homeowners love spending time outdoors, which is why outdoor space is so critical to buyers. Decks and patios are perfect spaces for outdoor entertaining but keep in mind that you can enhance these areas by adding specific features. For instance, a built-in firepit or fireplace is a perfect feature for Maine homes that increase a home's living space without the expensive cost of a home addition.
- Outdoor Recreation Space
Backyards are used for more than barbeques and birthday parties. When temperatures warm up, Augusta homeowners want to get out and get active. Depending on the size of your outdoor space, consider adding a few amenities that some other homes on the market won't have. You can upgrade your home with an in-ground pool or tennis court to increase its value. These are great features that many homeowners love, especially if you live in a development that does not offer these amenities.
- Smart Exterior Tech
As technology evolves, so does homeowner demand. Buyers are looking for the latest home tech inside and out. With an average of over 200 sunny days per year, outfitting your Augusta home with solar panels is a wise investment. Smaller yet still desirable technologies you can integrate into your home's exterior include smart security systems. Video doorbells, motion-sensor lighting, and alarm systems that don't rely on phone lines offer peace of mind to homebuyers who will be willing to pay for such safety and security.
You want potential buyers to fall in love with your home. Although your interior may have phenomenal features, homeowners will create their first impression of your home immediately after viewing the exterior. Make the best first impression by integrating any or all of these desirable featuring into the exterior of your home.
