What Buyers Want in 2025: The Top Trends Sellers Should Know
Thinking about selling your home in 2025? Before you start clearing closets or choosing paint colors, let’s talk about what today’s buyers are actually looking for—and what turns them off fast.
The real estate market has shifted, and buyers are no longer swooning over "potential." In this market, move-in ready wins.
Here are the top trends we're seeing right now:
Move-In Ready is King
Today’s buyers are busy, cautious, and conscious of rising interest rates. Most aren't looking for a project—they're looking for a place they can move into right now without the added cost or stress of renovations.
Carpet is Out—LVP and Hardwood are In
Buyers want durable, stylish flooring—and they want it throughout the home. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and hardwood continue to dominate, while wall-to-wall carpet (especially in living areas) often makes a home feel dated.
Curb Appeal Still Matters—A Lot
That first impression starts from the street. Clean lines, fresh paint, and a pop of color on the front door can instantly make a buyer feel like your home is the one. Don’t underestimate the power of a little landscaping or a tidy porch.
Preparing to sell?
If you're preparing to sell, don’t guess what buyers want. Ask someone who’s in the market every day and understands what’s helping homes stand out (and sell fast).
