DESIGN THAT PAYS OFF: WHAT FEATURES HELP HOMES SELL ABOVE ASKING

PREPARE YOUR LISTING WITH DESIGN INSIGHTS

As a real estate agent, you know that certain home features can tip the scales from “just browsing” to “ready to write an offer.” According to recent California listing data, homes with thoughtful, high-impact upgrades aren’t just attracting more views—they’re selling for more, and often above asking.

Features like eat-in kitchen areas (105.1% sale-to-list ratio), hardwood floors (103.7%), and separate family rooms (103.0%) top the list for both desirability and return. Buyers are drawn to homes that feel both functional and elevated, and these upgrades consistently signal value.

Design elements like custom cabinetry, large windows, quartz or stone countertops, and breakfast bars also contribute to faster sales and higher prices. As an interior designer, I help homeowners and agents identify the smartest updates before listing—focusing on features that increase visual appeal and market value.

If you have clients looking to prep their home for sale, I’d love to collaborate and ensure their property makes the strongest possible impression from day one. Let’s chat!
