Home Sellers - How are Home Buyers Wish Lists Changing

Here we are, weeks into the coronavirus situation & halfway into the second quarter.  How has tall of this affected home buyers' Wish Lists?  Let's see what the experts say:

In a recent study by realtor.com, homeowners noted some of the main things they would change about their homes to make them more livable.

Not surprisingly, more space, an updated kitchen, and a home gym rose to the top of the list.  Here are a few other things high on the list:

- Quiet neighborhoods, outdoor spaces and proximity to grocery stores 
- Bigger houses, updated kitchens
- Some are predicting seeing a wave of folks moving from urban/suburban areas to more rural ones as more folks continue to work from home & prices remain high.

I was surprised that "home office" didn't make that list.  I'm guesing that the desire for a bigger home includes more bedrooms & one of them would be the office.
