3 Features Homebuyers Want in 2021

A Shower Without a Curb

A curbless shower means you can walk right in without having to step over a barrier. This kind of feature is the type that buyers look for in a sophisticated main bedroom en suite. Amenities like soaking tubs, steam showers, and similar enhancements, can help homebuyers feel like they’re immersed in luxury, and have booked an appointment at a local spa. 

Modern Farmhouse Style

The modern farmhouse interior design style is a trend that has staying power and appeals to lots of buyers. This style is known for the use of sliding barn doors, shiplap and beadboard wall treatments, wide plank floors, and Shaker-style cabinets. Not every element needs to be incorporated, but integrating one or more can evoke a modern farmhouse vibe.

Aside from a sliding barn door as a style choice, it’s also a great space saver for rooms that have small footprints where doors that swing open would present a challenge. You may choose barn doors that are made from driftwood, pine, or reclaimed woods in their natural states for a rustic look, or—for a more modern appearance—opt for painted ones that complement your interior color scheme. 

Ceiling Fans

Eighty-three percent of homebuyers want ceiling fans in their homes, according to a recent survey by the National Association of Homebuilders. Ceiling fans can not only help make rooms in your home more comfortable during the hot summer months, but they can also help keep cooling expenses lower by supplementing your air conditioning.
