Buyers disclose nonnegotiable amenities

Home shoppers are not wanting to negotiate on certain amenities, such as central air conditioning as well as a private patio or backyard, as outlined by a new survey of more than 1,000 homeowners conducted by remodeling site Porch.com.

Having said that, prospective buyers are less likely to consider stainless steel appliances or perhaps a swimming pool as deal-breaking must-haves.

Renters and homeowners differ considerably in their priorities, the survey found. While homeowners ranked central air, private backyard areas, and guest bedrooms as high priorities, renters ranked central air, an in-unit washer and dryer, and pet-friendly building policies as their top amenities.

Flooring matters to the majority of homeowners. More than one in four consider hardwood floors to be the most significant amenity in their house, in line with the survey.

So what are homeowners most ready to splurge on? It differs by age range, Porch.com found.

Baby boomers would spend the most extra ($5,660) on a swimming pool; generation X would spend the most extra ($6,224) on a swimming pool, and millennials would spend the most extra ($7,009) on a private patio or backyard.
