When purchasing a home, buyers tend to have a list of criteria that they are looking for. For each home buyer, it differs. Whilst some look for flat homes and a big backyard, others might opt for an apartment in the city centre.

A recent article from Realestate.com.au, shows that the pandemic has changed a lot of home buyers priorities, and things that were once considered a luxury, are now considered a must have. So what are house hunters looking for now?

Home Office
As many of us adapted to working from home during the pandemic, a home office or study is a space we yearn to have. Research shows that home buyers searching for a study, has increased by 45%.

Outdoor Space
Entertaining at home is a common reason buyers are searching for outdoor spaces. An outdoor space where buyers can relax is not only a lifestyle benefit, but also could be a must have to accommodate pets. Whilst this is not a newly searched item, ‘outdoor space’ is the third most searched keyword.

Granny Flats
The granny flat is also in great demand today, owing to its versatility. It should be noted that this residential property is not restricted to just the grandmas and grandpas, as it is also a top choice of parents whose older children still live with them.
