As you embark on your house-hunt, it’s very important and relevant to determine your Real Estate Needs and Real Estate Wants. A ‘value item’ is a feature that adds value to a property for future buyers. When making a list of your needs and wants, you might consider ‘value items’ rather than personal preferences that add little value. Things like dual-pane windows, stone countertops, hardwood floors, land size, landscaping, views and location are all value items to look for.
