Does it look like a modern-ish apartment with breezeways and internal stairs, or is it built like a roadside motel with long walk ways along the front.  

In today's competitive real estate market, having modern amenities can set your property apart, making it more attractive to a wider audience.

Builders can offer those crucial incentives, and the homes themselves often come with modern features and energy-efficient designs that make them even more appealing to buyers.Looking ahead, it’s clear that new-home sales will remain a bright spot in the housing market.

Spend what’s needed to upgrade with reliable mechanical systems, roof that doesn’t leak, remediate all mold; interior design modernized; in other words a place that will attract a higher income no hassle tenant.
