The surge in the number of homebuyers is backed up by this statement from a local property firm which clarifies that contrary to popular belief, the payment capacity of clients who are currently paying up for their residential homes have not shown a significant decrease during the pandemic. On top of this, a recent survey shows that a huge percentage of people across generations have spent heaps of money on home renovations during the past few years. This shows that the time spent inside our homes during the seemingly endless lockdowns has revealed needs and wants that were not prioritized before COVID-19 happened.

Most homebuyers are on the lookout for these particular house features when searching for a residential propertywhether it is a house and lot for sale or a luxury condo.

Outdoor space is the most in demand out of all house features

The remote work model, more popularly known as the work from home set-up, has been around for many years but the pandemic made it the norm. Getting to experience the convenience of working at home, without the hassle of waking up early and braving the everyday traffic, many people opted for this set-up long-term and finally made the transition to full remote work.

However, staying at home all the time can have negative impacts on our overall health. That is why having an outdoor space for other recreational activities is a must for home buyers these days. It is also important to buy a house and lot for sale or a luxury condo that is part of a community that can support your pursuit to a healthier lifestyle, like Brittany Corporation’s luxury homes in the Philippines.

Another reason why the kitchen is on top of the list of house features being usually renovated is because it holds a lot of the expensive items inside the home. Appliances such as refrigerator, stove or cooktop, oven, microwave, airfryer, blender, etc. Also the silverware, cutlery, ceramics, stainless steel, glass sets, and of course, the food supplies. Stay away from the mistake of putting all these together in one area that is not well-structured and well-designed can cause serious damage not just to the items mentioned but even to the homeowners.

Flooring of the house adds value
