 <\/p>\n

Some home buyers suffer from post-purchase regret. Realtor.com\u00ae recently spoke to real estate industry experts to find out what home features tend to spark the biggest regrets among buyers. Topping the list:<\/p>\n

1. Buying too big of a home. <\/strong>Buyers may think at the time having a big home is what they want, but after moving in, they may later regret the expense and upkeep of maintaining a big home. Cooling and heating bills can be much higher and just cleaning the place can become a much bigger chore. Also if the room size is big, buyers may find their furniture a mismatch and too small. Urge buyers to bring a tape measure to verify their furniture would work in the space and also to consider the utility bills.<\/p>\n

2. Awkward layouts. <\/strong>The kitchen island is often a desirable amenity among home buyers \u2013 it can add prep space, after all. But \u201ckitchen islands can be a mistake if you don\u2019t take your \u2018work triangle\u2019 into account,\u201d Baumbusch says. She urges buyers to walk around the kitchen and consider their usual prepping and cooking patterns.<\/p>\n

3. Not considering what\u2019s missing. <\/strong>Architects and remodelers sometimes will remove something from a room to give it a more modern, cleaner feel. For example, \u201cthere is a trend to eliminate the bathtub in favor of just a shower,\u201d Baumbusch says. \u201cSome home owners regret that decision because sometimes they find themselves wishing for a nice long soak after a tough day.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. Pools. <\/strong>For some home buyers, the pool can become a selling-point that later turns into a source of regret. Pools can be costly and some buyers may fail to consider the all of the additional costs. For example, there\u2019s regularly monthly maintenance and cleaning as well as pools in seasonal areas often are opened and closed by a professional. \u201cIt can cost upward of $600 just to open a pool and prepare it for swimmers,\u201d Baumbusch says.<\/p>\n

5. Falling for fads. <\/strong>\u201cToday\u2019s popular ice-white appliances, steel countertops, and Edison bulb light fixtures are yesterday\u2019s saloon doors, linoleum, and brass hardware,\u201d realtor.com\u00ae notes. \u201cIf you buy a house just for its trendy look, you may end up regretting it when the styles change, especially if you have to sell the outdated design.\u201d Baumbusch recommends buyers look for timeless features \u2013 classic, well-designed homes.<\/p>\n
