These homes have already been updated and include all of the latest home design trends. This makes them more valuable and easier to maintain. Furthermore, should you decide to sell your home in the future, you\u2019re more likely to get a good price if all of the features aren\u2019t outdated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what are new homebuyers looking for today? Here\u2019s a list of the top 10 most wanted home features among buyers in 2022:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Open Layouts &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buyers are attracted to homes with open layouts because they\u2019re easier to navigate, better for entertaining, and have more natural light.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Energy-Efficient Features <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; As energy costs increase and climate change worsens, more people are beginning to prioritize energy-efficient features in their homes. Solar panels, energy-efficient lighting, and efficient appliances are all desirable features.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Smart Home Technology &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smart homes are becoming the standard in today\u2019s world. As our reliance on technology increases, so does the need to have it accessible in our living space.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Home Office &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pandemic caused many people to start working from home. Now a home office is considered to be a valuable commodity.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Functional Kitchen <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Kitchens with ample prep space, multi-use islands, and an abundance of storage are being highly sought after today.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Separate Laundry Room\u00a0 &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The days of having a laundry room in the hallway or garage are long gone. Today, homeowners appreciate having a separate room where they can sequester the mess and the noise associated with doing laundry.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Outdoor Living Spaces <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Since the pandemic, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/as-outdoor-renovations-stay-strong-these-outdoor-living-products-are-benefiting-the-most-301368679.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">outdoor living spaces<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have become more and more elaborate.

The half-bathroom became a necessity once again and it looks like the trend is here to stay.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Guest Rooms &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a similar reason, there was also an increased need for guest rooms. Having guest rooms allowed people to have their friends and family over for the holidays since they were able to sleep somewhere else besides a hotel.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Large Garage Space &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the last couple of years, many homeowners started to experience the need for a larger garage space.
