One of the publications’ ideal-LIVING releases is their yearly real estate executive report, which includes pages of useful information using data gathered from people just like you, all over the country. The information contains details such as what kind of property investment people want most, the biggest factors for moving or keeping one from moving, the timeframe for moving, and so on. This helps others relate to one another better and perhaps further help them on their path to relocating.
Among this data is a poll of what most aspiring homebuyers are looking for in a new home. Naturally, this topic alone is broad and can be as unique as the person who is looking to buy. But ideal-LIVING has narrowed it down to a select 15 chosen items. A whopping 81% of homebuyers are looking for first-floor living amenities in a new home, making it the absolute number one desired feature. Fortunately for you, Brunswick Forest has everything covered in this area as well. Most floor plans from their featured builders are centered around single floor lifestyles, so you do not ever have to stress about getting around.
61% of people are looking for maintenance-free living options. Sometimes you just want a home that involves less time pruning and cutting the lawn, without sacrificing anything in your living style. Brunswick Forest has plenty of options for housing, like the Park Side Townhomes, which accentuates a lifestyle where you can dedicate your energy to other activities. 62% of homebuyers are looking for homes with large open kitchens. Many of the models presented at Brunswick Forest include large open living areas that open into gourmet-inspired kitchen areas. These kitchens are often lavishly equipped with some of the sleekest stainless-steel equipment you have seen and have marble or granite island countertops with tile backdrops.
59% of people are looking for modern energy-efficient homes that are easy on monthly utility bills. Another stat indicates 59% of buyers want a master bedroom suite away from the main areas of the home. Both factors are qualities that Brunswick Forest excels in.
