If you're lucky enough to be a home buyer faced with a buyer's market in your local neighbourhood, you'll have ample of houses to select from!
So, besides shopping for a new home which has a certain number of bedrooms, bathrooms, garages etc on your 'need' list, your 'want' list will contain extra home features every buyer loves!

Home Feature #5 - Fireplaces
And last but not least, fireplaces are seeing a huge comeback - so much so that they've made it to this top-5 advanced home features every buyer loves!

Closing thoughts
Whether the extra features that you, as a home buyer, are now demanding to be part of the whole housing picture, will actually be found in your new home, remains to be seen. You can enlist many different professional real estate agents to assist you until you've found what you're looking for.

Ask yourself this:
Will you kick yourself if you call your agent tomorrow to check whether you can put an offer in on the property you went to view today, only to find out that there was an interested buyer who saw the property yesterday and decided to buy it today?
