What Home Features Linked to Quicker Sales &#038; Above-Asking?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For home sellers, there are two best-case scenarios : an above-ask offer, and a quick sale. Both can happen, and especially with features like quartz and a metal roof, new research shows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recently, analysts at Zillow examined a sample of transactions, assessing the descriptions and making note of 170-plus terms, like &#8220;Moroccan tile&#8221; and &#8220;rattan.&#8221; Then, factoring in local market measures, timing, and more, they calculated the days-on-market differences and premiums, connecting the dots on what attributes could garner higher offers or result in speedier transactions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here are their findings :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Modern Farmhouse Style \u2013 10.3% premium<br \/>\n\u2022 Waterfall Countertop \u2013 9.4% premium<br \/>\n\u2022 Moroccan Tile \u2013 7.3% premium<br \/>\n\u2022 Craftsman Style \u2013 6% premium<br \/>\n\u2022 Exposed Brick \u2013 6% premium<br \/>\n\u2022 Freestanding Tub \u2013 5.5% premium<br \/>\n\u2022 Quartz \u2013 5.5% premium<br \/>\n\u2022 Dual Range \u2013 5.3% premium<br \/>\n\u2022 Metal Roof \u2013 5.1% premium<br \/>\n\u2022 Pet Shower\/Spa \u2013 5.1% premium<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Smart Sprinkler System \u2013 15.1 days sooner<br \/>\n\u2022 Rattan \u2013 12.8 days sooner<br \/>\n\u2022 Drought-Resistant \u2013 12 days sooner<br \/>\n\u2022 Mid-Century Style \u2013 10.5 days sooner<br \/>\n\u2022 Board and Batten \u2013 8.7 days sooner<br \/>\n\u2022 Carrara Marble \u2013 8.1 days sooner<br \/>\n\u2022 Double-Pane Window \u2013 8 days sooner<br \/>\n\u2022 Pergola \u2013 7.9 days sooner<br \/>\n\u2022 Butcher Block \u2013 7.4 days sooner<br \/>\n\u2022 Smart Lighting \u2013 7.3 days sooner<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With its lived-in look, modern farmhouse style\u2014think HGTV&#8217;s &#8220;Fixer Upper,&#8221; shiplap and all\u2014stands up to wear and tear, which is why it&#8217;s a fan favorite and highly valued, according to Amanda Pendleton, lifestyle expert for Zillow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Some design trends look great in a photograph, but don&#8217;t reflect the way most Americans live,&#8221; Pendleton says. &#8220;The modern farmhouse trend seems to be enduring because of its livability. It has a more casual, rustic aesthetic that is meant to be lived in; nothing is precious and the more wear and patina, the better, which makes it so appealing to buyers with children or pets.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then there&#8217;s energy efficiency and smart technology, which could contribute to a faster sale\u2014accelerated potentially two weeks, if there&#8217;s an intelligent irrigation system, or one week, if there&#8217;s automated lights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you&#8217;re preparing to sell soon, the analysts caution that it&#8217;s important not to jump into renovations with the expectation of a guaranteed high return. (For more on that, check out Remodeling magazine&#8217;s annual Cost vs. Value Report.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;We can&#8217;t prove these features directly cause the price premiums we found, but the positive correlation is a clear sign that today&#8217;s home shoppers associate these features with high-quality homes,&#8221; explains Jeff Tucker, an economist for Zillow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, if your home is outfitted with a pet shower\/spa, consider including that in the description of the listing\u2014it could heighten interest, which could lead to more offers and a swifter timeline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;If you have these features in your home, make sure to flaunt them in your listing description during the competitive spring home shopping season,&#8221; says Tucker.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.rismedia.com\/2020\/selling-spring-offers-quicker-sales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Selling This Spring?
