What do you do to make your house stand out if it is very similar to the rest of the homes in your market? Point out the things your home has, that buyers love!
Here is a list of things buyers look for that sellers don’t always mention:
1. Storage. Many move-up and first-time buyers deal with lack of storage in their current homes. Your storage areas are a god-send to them.

2. Organizing systems. In the same vein, if you have made the investment in upgrading your home with customized or built-in closet, kitchen or garage organizer systems, point this out in your home's listing.
3. Proximity to the things people like: shops, schools, recreation and shorter commutes. Some buyers simply might that your hidden gem of a neighborhood also happens to be tucked within a half mile of a subway station, entrances to 3 freeways and 2 regional parks.

4. Senior-friendly features. Boomers are still (and again) a BIG market. If your house has one-level living potential and low-maintenance features, point out the opportunities for aging in place.
5. Pantry. It might not sound like a big thing, but a home with a generous pantry has a leg up on one that has none.
6. Separate laundry room. People who have had them don’t want to do without them and people who have never tasted this luxury lust after them.
