Among many other changes post pandemic, buyers re-evaluating their buying criteria, particularly the space and rooms their dream property has.
Considering the number of weeks in lockdown we have spent in our homes, particularly in Melbourne, a home office or study has become of key importance for buyers.
For renovators and house flippers this should be a renovation priority right now. Kitchen and bathroom upgrades are normally seen as your big bang for buck renos but search results for a home office or a study have gone up tremendously.
As the last two years saw us working from home, even second living areas or media rooms may be better serviced as a home office, from a resale perspective.
While smaller spaces like a desk in the alcove or a little laptop-sized bench used to be sufficient for the odd occasion use, homes now need dedicated and private spaces. The space doesn’t have to be huge, but it really has to be private. Working from home you need to be able to have conversations where you’re not necessarily going to be overheard, or background noise cannot be heard.
When it comes to selling your home for profit, sellers need to tap into how people are living right now. What you like or want in a home is often what your renters or future buyers will like about your home.
