What Charlotte Home Buyers Want | Five Updates to Help Your Charlotte Home Sell

If you’re planning to list your Charlotte home for sale, you will definitely want to make it irresistible to buyers. We’re seeing repeatedly in our showing feedback from buyers touring our listings that they want move-in READY!

Most buyers don’t want to have to lift a finger with the exception of writing that check to the moving company! They WANT you to have an updated home and if the home is priced within market range, they will PAY for those updates. However, they want to tour your home with these updates DONE. They don’t want to have to design anything, hire any contractors or work on any modifications after they’ve moved in for quite some time.

Here are five updates to consider:

Replace or paint garage doors. If you have an attached two-car garage, it is a very prominent feature of the front of your Charlotte home. You probably don’t even notice the garage doors anymore, but buyers will. If your garage doors are showing their age, consider painting or even replacing them for a new look.
Replace old windows. If your windows are single pane, this is a must. New double-pane windows will not only look great, they will increase the comfort and energy efficiency of your home significantly. In these energy-conscious times, buyers are not interested in a home with drafty old windows.
Refinish hardwood floors. If you’ve got them, hardwood floors are an asset. Get them looking their best before showing them off.
Paint. This is one of the least expensive ways to transform your home, both inside and out.
Update the kitchen. Some of the most attractive features in modern kitchens include:
- Pull-out shelving in cabinets. These are a boon to an aging population. Never again throw your back out while groping for things in the back of cabinets.
- Islands are still a popular feature.
- Granite countertops
- Stainless steel appliances also remain popular with buyers

Standout range hoods are becoming a focal point in fashionable kitchens.
