What are home buyers looking for in 2022?

Working from home space

The ability to work from home is now commonplace and a lot of buyers are considering where they can set up their workspace when inspecting a home they’re interested in. A cleverly designed home office or study nook is a big selling point to potential buyers.

Low maintenance gardens

Busy lifestyles mean a lot more people are being more purposeful with how they spend their spare time. Spending the whole weekend mowing or gardening is not high on many people’s wish lists. A low maintenance garden is preferable to a lot of buyers in 2022. 

Multiple living areas

Kid’s living rooms, parent’s retreats and teenager’s retreats are highly sought after in today’s market. Particularly with families that are looking for a new home. 

School catchment areas and bus routes

Having quality schools and bus routes nearby for private schools are hugely appealing for buyers in 2022.

Buyers in 2022 are looking for outdoor areas that are an extension from the kitchen for casual and easy entertaining. True indoor / outdoor living areas are highly sought after and greatly appeal to potential buyers.
