Do you have space in your bedroom for a master closet? Homes built in the 20s and 30s probably did not think about the 200 pairs of shoes you have between you and your spouse. Or perhaps the Spring, Winter, Summer and Fall sets of clothes and other accessories. Goodness knows you need multiple handbags to go with every accessory on your wrist and around your neck.

Here in the historic district, what extras are you willing to pay for?

A recent study found that 60% of homeowners were willing to pay extra for a walk-in closet in the master bedroom, with 44% of people between the ages of 35 and 54 viewing this feature as very important, compared to just 35% under the age of 35 and 36% of people 55 and older.

The walk-in closet is desired for two main reasons: space and status. The space is very desirable for people as they get older and acquire more clothes, allowing people to be more organized. Having a walk-in closet in the master bedroom is also a status symbol.

The good ol chest of drawers is not enough anymore. We need to change our houses to be "hip" with the times. Are you willing to change your layout to make your house more functional NOW, as well as more marketable in the future? That baby room in the back of your bedroom may not be as functional as a baby room, but may make a great laundry/closet for you and your bathroom.

Are you willing to change your house in the Historic District? If you want to know what is selling and what buyers want, call me to discuss. I work with buyers and sellers every day.
