| Getting ready to sell. What do they want? Hard scape? Type of stove? Rentable apartment in basement? Shaker cabs? Anyone? |
| Who cares what they want? Other than decluttering, fixing anything that is obviously broken, and maybe some minor cosmetic stuff, you’re going to lose money doing renovations in preparation of selling a house. |

Everything exactly to their taste, updated yesterday.
And a price about $500K less than what you plan to list at. |
| I think four walls and a roof would be sufficient at this point. |
| They aren’t handy. Everything has to be fixed up, painted, in working order. Also, many are paranoid about permits & suspicious of DIY work. Have any building permits from past renovations available. |

I don’t think it really matters, most people like certain things but are more than happy to buy a home without these things. We bought a home in a neighborhood we liked that didn’t require any big repairs, was move in ready, and was within our desired price range.
That said, I do strongly prefer wood floors and nice windows. |
| Isn’t Gen Z at most 24 years old? They’re probably not your buyers. |
| The same things everyone wants - everything in good working condition so they don’t move in and have to do a bunch of work/repairs right away. Millennials are working age adults, they probably have little kids too, so we don’t have time to fix holes in the walls and barely-working appliances. |
| They want walkability and/or public transit and human scaled neighborhoods. Gen Z has the largest amount of people without driver's licenses since the 1930s. |
| Free rent in your basement and a large allowance. |
They are lazy plus don’t know how to do repairs. They have a ton of free time to do it. They are remote or WFH most days. So yes fix it up. But don’t pretend it is a time issue they barely work. |
Ok Grandpa.

grandpa would know how to fix up the house, though. |
