MAKING A CASE FOR SPACE
A majority of recent home buyers would’ve preferred improved and greater closet space, as well as other storage options, reports the NAR. Consider these statistics showing what buyers are looking for in a home:
• 93% wanted a laundry room • 90% wanted a bathroom linen closet • 86% wanted garage storage • 85% wanted a walk-in kitchen pantry
STORAGE IS A PLUS
Give buyers great storage and you’ve won their hearts. If you can add new closets to your home easily, do so. Building a simple closet isn’t difficult if you’re moderately handy. If you’re selling an older home, where closet space is typically minimal, this will help! If your rooms are already small, you might not want to take any square footage away from them. Existing closets can be updated to maximize the space at hand.
