2025 Homebuyers Are Pickier Than Ever! Here’s How to Win Them Over
Montreal buyers in 2025 are savvy and selective. If you’re thinking of selling, here are 5 features that today’s buyers are actively looking for in their home search:
-
Energy Efficiency – Heat pumps, new windows, and smart thermostats are big selling points, if your home cannot offer some options, then make sure it checks off at least one of the three boxes!
-
Functional Space – Extra rooms that can double as home offices or gyms are gold in today’s real estate market as more people want to optimize their spaces.
-
Move-In Ready (Light Renos Only) – A fresh coat of paint and clean finishes go a long way for buyers shopping in 2025, the days of the “handy man” are unfortunately gone.
-
Outdoor Space – Balconies, terraces, or even cozy yards = major buyer interest, even though we apparently only have 3-4 real months of summer – the exterior of your home is just as important as the interior!
-
Proximity to Services – Parks, groceries, schools, transit… it’s all about lifestyle and how easily accessible things are to buyers!
