While searching through the listings of homes for sale in the Triangle, have you ever noticed the over-emphasis of certain features in the descriptions of the properties? While it’s nice to have things such as new windows, new carpet, and new mechanical systems pointed out, overly dramatic, “fluffy” descriptors make many homes sound better on paper than they appear in person. This can make your home search both disappointing and exhausting.

Listing agents have a responsibility to the home seller to effectively market their property. This includes advertising, and one place to play up the features of a home is in the description included with advertisements and MLS placement. This is why some homes’ descriptions sound better than they really are. When you work with an exclusive buyer’s agent you are working with someone whose responsibility is to help you find the best home with the best features for your money.

Cosmetic Features can be Misleading

Cosmetic features include things like fresh paint, woodwork, new entry and interior doors, new light fixtures and carpeting. While these things can make the appearance of a home more appealing and add text to a home’s marketing description, they do not add significant value to the home. Cosmetic updates may signify a well-cared for home, but their value is misleading. Carpet and paint are inexpensive compared to kitchen and bath remodels.

Valuable Home Features to Look For

Value can be found in both kitchens and baths - providing that updates have been done with quality materials. Look for wood cabinets, quality countertops (not laminate) and higher-end flooring. Also take note of whether any updates have enhanced or increased the living space within a home. Room additions or redesigns that increase living space can make a home stand out from others in the neighborhood.

When to Compromise

Some homes simply afford different features than others and compromises may have to be made. Fireplaces, for instance, are not a feature of every house but may be a feature you are set on having in your new home. If you have to compromise an outdated bathroom for a fireplace, be sure you’re willing to exchange one for the other. On the other hand, if you find more wrong with a house than right, it’s time to move on.

Homes in the Triangle area of North Carolina ranges from old to new and the features of any given home may be deal makers or breakers. When you work with Buyers Advantage Group your exclusive buyer’s agent will help you determine which features are valuable, not only to your purchase, but also to resale potential, ensuring that your North Carolina real estate purchase is a purchase you can be happy with for years to come.
