In the upper range, buyers commonly look for larger lots, finished basements, modern layouts, outdoor living areas, and quality finishes.
Because Mike Measer works with these buyers every week, he sees consistent patterns in how they evaluate homes:
• $300k–$500k: strong schools, good value, functional layouts.
• $500k–$700k: modern updates, good mechanicals, practical outdoor space.
• $700k–$1M: privacy, higher-end finishes, larger lots, and well-designed interiors.
Mike tracks these preferences closely so sellers know where to focus their preparation without overspending. Additional local insights are always posted at measerrealestatewny.com.
