Top Qualities to Look for When Buying a House

The location is perfect, there are ample transportation options, and amenities for days. But when push comes to shove, are these the only qualities your home should have?

As a top realtors Camp Hill, PA; Smith Top Team has some kernels of wisdom to bestow when it comes to what to really look for when buying a house!

The Ideal Ceiling Height

The magic number is nine feet. Typically, most homeowners vault their ceilings into the attic to get an open feeling, which is costly if you do it during a remodel. However, if you already have taller ceilings, it will not only open up your home’s interior without making it look awkwardly cavernous, but it’ll also give you opportunities to be creative with your décor and add to your home’s resale value.

Facing South

An ideal feature for all climates, having southern exposure keeps your home’s temperature controlled come summer or winter, offers plenty of sunlight, which can be a great mood enhancer, and makes for the ideal atmosphere for those with a green thumb.

A home with southern exposure is a rare feature these days, so think twice before passing it up!

An Outdoor Patio

In terms of home value, having a view of the great outdoors via a patio or a deck offers a great return on investment.

Aside from adding an element of aesthetic appeal to your home’s design, outdoor areas provide a refuge from the hustle-and-bustle of your life’s daily stresses.

Staying outdoors and enjoying nature lowers your blood pressure, and reduces your cortisol levels and helps you feel refreshed and invigorated as well. And that’s not something you can get from a first-floor walk-up!

Good Storage

You can never have too much storage space! Especially if you’re looking for a family home, having multiple storage options on your property will resolve any issues you may have for extra furniture, clothing or toy sets. But more than that, if there ever comes a time where you need to add some extra space for an extra bedroom or ensuite, this storage space will be what’ll come in handy!
