Spring is here, and the real estate market is buzzing with motivated buyers looking for their next dream home. If you’re planning to sell, knowing exactly what today’s buyers are prioritizing can give you a serious advantage.
A recent survey revealed the top features Canadian homebuyers want in 2025—and the results may surprise you. By highlighting these desirable features in your listing, you can make your property stand out in a competitive market.
From backyards to balconies, outdoor space is at the top of buyers’ wish lists across Canada. Whether it’s a private garden, a spacious deck, or a landscaped patio, make sure your outdoor area shines in photos and descriptions.
Pro tip: Stage your outdoor space with comfortable seating, fresh plants, and cozy lighting for maximum appeal.
Practicality is big in 2025. Parking—whether it’s a garage, driveway, or dedicated spot—is a major selling point. If your home offers convenient parking options, don’t let that go unnoticed in your listing.
Secondary suites and separate entrances are gaining popularity, especially among buyers looking to generate rental income or accommodate multigenerational living. If your property offers this flexibility, highlight it as a key feature.
For buyers with families, functionality matters. Mudrooms, entertainment rooms, and dedicated play areas are highly valued. If your Edmonton home has these spaces, make them a focal point in your marketing.
Single-family home buyers are drawn to comfort and efficient layouts. Finished basements and bungalow-style designs are particularly appealing, offering both space and convenience. If your home fits the bill, make sure it’s front and center in your listing description.
