What do Home Buyers Look for in a Property
                     What do Home  
Buyers Look for in a 
 Property?
As a real estate agent, people often come up to me and ask queries like what 
 things home buyers often look for? What do we do to ensure that our 
property is  positioned in the right way so that they get the best price for 
their valuable  asset?
This write-up will put you on the right path and guide you 
about the things  that potential home buyers look for while 
buying a home in Cranbourne.
If you hire a real estate agent in Cranbourne, he will tell 
you about the  behaviour of homebuyers in the real estate 
market. Here are the things  that home buyers look for 
before closing any deal:
A Great Layout
The market will have a number of buyers at a 
time and the  preferences of each will be 
entirely different. We cannot  specify or target 
the needs of a single buyer. But  regardless of 
the type, home buyers would certainly look  for 
the house layout. A house with a seamless flow 
will  always stay on the top of the list. However, 
all houses may  not be the same. But there are 
a few general tips that  every home seller must 
adhere to before putting their  house on a sale.
Area and Location
Where is the property located? What type of area is 
it. Is it even  safe to live with a family? The type of 
neighborhood, the  facilities in the vicinity. All these 
features are looked into by the  buyers. Again, it will 
depend on the type of buyer- A first-home  buyer, 
downsizer, upsizer, or investment property buyer.
Depending on the kind, the needs and requirements 
will vary.
For instance, some dream of living in the suburb or 
in the city.  Some may want to live nearby their 
work station, or close to  family and friends. If your 
buyers tend to be a young couple,  they may want a 
place that has good public transport facility.
To know what kind of buyer will suit you, it is 
suggested to hire a  professional real estate agent in 
Cranbourne and let them take  this important call.
Quality, Home finishing
While buying a home, no one would want to 
compromise on the  quality. Many buyers might also 
not be interested in making  changes, or renovating 
the home, unless in a few cases. So, if  you are 
thinking of selling a home in Cranbourne or nearby  
suburbs, make sure you offer the house in a manner 
that the  buyer just has to make a shift without 
having to put much  thought later on.
If you get lucky, buyer may agree to be ok with 
making small  changes to a home after buying it 
(happens only in some cases).  But warning you that 
this idea may not work all the time and  can also 
serve as a deterrent for some.
If your budget allows, it is suggested to get the 
final finishing  done and make your house look 
spick and span.
Home Renovation (Avoid  Overdo)
Excess of everything is bad. Over renovation will 
also prove to  be bad. So, it is advised that home 
sellers make small  adjustments and update their 
homes before listing. Remember  there is a fine line 
between making your home appealing, and  taking 
the renovations too ahead to the point of 
completion.
For some home buyers, it may be a deal breaker 
when the home  is already renovated while others 
may want to make certain  changes after buying. 
UGH! Completely the buyer’s choice. But  as a home 
seller, you must look carefully into the aspect of  
home renovations.
Touch-ups are required but do not overdo them!
Basic Practical Elements  Over Luxuries
Until and unless a buyer is looking for a luxurious 
home, there is  no need to add anything super 
expensive like statement tiles, or  pendant lighting. 
Such luxurious extras can easily be added  after 
purchasing a new home. So, you need not worry 
about it.
If your home does fulfil the basic requirements 
of a buyer,  he/she will show you the red flag. 
Basic elements include –  living room, dining 
room, kitchen, garage, study room, and  
bathrooms.
So, while staging a home in the market, it would be 
better to  consider making structural changes 
through subtle renovations.
Financial Satisfaction – The  Ultimate Goal
Whether or not your buyer is buying a home as an 
investment  property, home buying is like building a 
nest egg for the future.  So, your buyer, irrespective 
of the purpose will always seek  financial 
satisfaction. It means that the buyer feels that they  
have got a value for money.
No buyer would want to be the slave of their 
mortgage. They  would take into consideration a 
potential rate rise when  purchasing a property. 
Financial peace is important to every  buyer.
When you hire a real estate agent in 
Cranbourne, all such  worries are gone because 
good realtors make sure both the  parties are on 
an equal footing.
As a Seller, Understand the  Buyer 
Psychology
The above are the features that most of the home 
buyers  consider while searching for an ideal 
property for themselves.  But if you are a seller, 
there are certain other things too that  you must 
keep in mind and also take in urgent consideration.
Update Yourself with the  Buyer Trends
Understanding your buyer is the most important 
factor. There  are two ways to know your buyer. First 
is to know what most of  the buyers are interested in. 
Are they looking to settle in a  suburb or somewhere 
else. Where are they mostly searching  for property - 
on real estate websites or manually. What kind of  
property configuration are they looking for – 2 
bedrooms, 3  bedrooms or what else.
Buyer Migration
For instance, some people might want to buy in your 
suburb and  some may not want. This information will 
help you focus your  marketing campaigns in the right 
direction. You will be able to  target right people and 
will also attract a large pool of  interested property 
buyers.
Tips to Maximize the Home  Appeal
Make sure your street front is neat, clean and cared for. The fence is clean of 
dirt and cobwebs.  The property number is clearly visible.
Garbage bins are hidden.
Mail isn’t overflowing from 
letter box.  Windows and doors 
are clean.
The house is 
decluttered.  The 
kitchen is styles well. 
 The house is well lit.
Bathroom is sparkling 
clean.  Good fixtures 
and fittings.
Buying or selling a property is not child’s play. It requires a deep understanding of the real 
estate market, in-  depth research. After all, the process involves a heavy monetary 
transaction. Such decisions must be taken  after practical considerations. If you are looking
