What Does ‘Move-In Ready’ Mean to Buyers?

On July 17, 2019, Posted by assurance , In Real Estate, With Comments Off

Most buyers (58%) think it means fresh paint, but over half also expect new floors and counter tops, plus updated cabinets and modern finishes.

A “move-in ready” home may mean different things to different buyers – everything from having freshly painted walls to having window blinds included.

Bungalo, a real estate platform for buying newly renovated homes online, surveyed more than 550 home shoppers between the ages of 25 to 54 on what elements are required for a home to be considered “move-in ready.”

If you’re going to use the term for listings, here’s what most buyers expect:

58%: Fresh paint
55%: New flooring
54%: New countertops
51%: Updated cabinetry
51%: Modern finishes (faucets, doorknobs, etc.)
49%: Modern light fixtures
45%: Blinds in the windows
45%: Renovated master bath
34%: Fridge
32%: Washer and dryer
