High-speed Internet access.
The desire to have high-speed Internet access is a recent desire in buyers. Back in 2004, the desire to have high-speed Internet access did not even rank the top 10 important home features.

Cable/satellite TV-ready.
36% of buyers are willing to pay extra to have their home cable/satellite TV-ready. Again, this is another indicator of the home buyer's preference to have a home of luxury.

Backyard/play area, Patio.
In 2004, a backyard/play area did not even rank in the top 10 of importance in home features in a previous survey conducted by NAR. Of the buyers surveyed, 54% would pay a premium for a patio. When outdoor entertaining has become a common trend today, one can understand how this plays an importance for present home buyers.

Walk-in closet in master bedroom.

Of all interior features in a home, 60% of home buyers surveyed state they would pay more for a home with a walk-in closet in the master bedroom.

Oversize garage.
The second most desired feature in a home is an oversized garage or a garage with two spaces or more. 56% of NAR Researched home buyers are willing to pay a premium to have this feature in their dream home. Not only are cars requiring more space, garages are also utilized for another storage area for most homeowners.

Central air-conditioning.
The top feature most wanted by home buyers is central air-conditioning which indicates home buyers desire for increased comfort in their home.
