The most important room in the house is….

Home Trends
By Samantha Robins December 30

With 2012 upon us, one of your plans for the New Year may be to buy your first home, make a move-up purchase or find the need to downsize. Whatever the reason might be, buying a home can be such an exciting experience.  There are so many choices to consider – and everyone’s needs and lifestyles are different.  So, we decided to learn more about what similarities home shoppers share when deciding what’s most important in a home.

We asked our readers to tell us what they were searching for in a new home and the feedback was tremendous.  We want to share some of the findings with you.

“Which rooms would make or break your decision to purchase a home?”

Most important rooms:

  • Kitchen – 90% of respondents
  • Master Bedroom – 79% of respondents
  • Family Room – 34% of respondents
  • Garage – 31% of respondents
  • Living Room – 26% of respondents
  • Basement – 26% of respondents

It was interesting to learn that rooms like the Dining Room and 1st Floor Bath didn’t seem to sway a home buying decision at all.

Let us know which rooms would affect your decision to buy a home and we would love to know why!

Happy House Hunting!
