Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

Which home modification is NOT likely to enhance buyer appeal?

1. Heated floors in the bathroom(s)

2. Closet organizers in all bedroom closets

3. Extra built-in storage cabinets in the garage

4. Non-programmable thermostat

The correct answer is: Non-programmable thermostat

A non-programmable thermostat is not likely to enhance buyer appeal because it is seen as a basic and standard feature in a home. Most buyers are now looking for energy-efficient homes with smart features, including programmable thermostats. By including a non-programmable thermostat, it may give the impression that the home lacks modern amenities and energy-saving options, thereby not necessarily adding to the overall appeal of the property. On the other hand, options A, B, and C enhance the functionality, convenience, and organization of the home, all of which are attractive features for potential buyers and can contribute positively to the property's appeal.
