Moody Miller, MLM Construction When I’m asked what buyers are looking for most in a home today, the obvious answer is quality—that never goes out of style. How do you want the house to feel? How will you use the space? What rooms are most important to you and why? Then a home can start to take shape. Having a thoughtful design and an efficient use of space for a growing and then shrinking family should play a tremendous role in your design. I like to be involved in the earliest stages as possible, not only to guide someone with the design but also to offer advice I’ve garnered from 23 years of custom home building. I love houses and the process of building them. I still learn something new every day, both from problems and solutions. I love to ask questions of my tradesmen and my clients. I want to be able to help them accomplish their dream and make it a pleasant, fulfilling experience.
Mike Rogers, Rogers Equipment & Construction As the world moves toward advanced technology and conveniences, buyers also look for these features in a new home. When we meet with a new customer, we guide them through innovative ideas and modern conveniences they
may want to consider when designing their new home. Some of these include smart technology that can be accessed and controlled from your phone. Examples are thermostats, security cameras, video doorbells, and window shades. One of our favorites is using Lutron light switches for all or part of your most-used lighting. You can easily turn lights on or off—or even set a schedule— right from your phone, no matter where you are. Coffee bars are becoming increasingly popular in homes, and one convenient way to avoid constantly refilling the reservoir is to install a direct water line to the coffee maker. Still very popular are open floor plans, chef kitchens with stainless steel appliances, spa-like master suites, elevated ceilings, and outdoor living and kitchen. But of course, the main thing buyers are looking for is a beautiful and safe location for themselves and their family. There are several new subdivisions with lots available currently that meet that criteria.
