Homebuyers Rank the Most Important Home Improvements when Shopping for a Home

Paint Denver Reveals Study on the ROI of Home Improvements Before a Sale

DENVER (PRWEB) June 21, 2022

Sellers spend time and money upgrading areas of a home that will never see a return on the investment. The team at Paint Denver took a closer look at what nearly 1,000 recent homebuyers had to say about their most-wanted features. This May 2022 study explores what homebuyers desire most, what stands out about a home while shopping, and the features that lead buyers to increase their offer.

The research shows that only 9% of shoppers are looking for a fixer upper and nearly 50% of shoppers want a move-in ready home. Beautiful landscaping was the most influential component for homebuyers while shopping, with over 51% ranking it as the very first thing they notice. Nearly 20% of respondents will pay 2%–5% over asking price for a home that has been freshly painted.

According to the findings, homebuyers are very likely to haggle on the selling price if the paint is in bad shape. Eighty-four percent will expect a discount if the interior paint is peeling, and a whopping 89% will haggle over exterior paint.
