Poll results: Your must-have home features
Large kitchens top Yourhomers' list of must-have home features, according to last week's poll. (Read the full story here).
Kitchens led with 38 per cent of votes, followed by stone or brick exteriors with 24 per cent, outdoor living space, 14 per cent, and energy efficiency, 10 per cent. Rounding out the list, with 3 per cent each, were home offices, main floor master suites, soaker tubs and two-car garages. The remaining two "must-haves", ceiling fans and community landscaping, received no votes.
This week, with the Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC) deadline behind us, I'm curious as to how many of you completed a renovation or made qualifying purchases? Let me know in the front page poll, and learn more about the credit on our HRTC page.

I wonder if the "energy-efficient appliances" includes on-demand water heaters, as are common in Europe for the bathroom and the kitchen. Surprising that there were no other desirables regarding bathrooms than a gigantic tub!
