I just read this interesting article which states that women are the dominant decision makers in property decisions.
"Eight times as many agents witness women as the dominant decision maker when selling real estate over their male counterparts, managing director Thomas Roberts says. This one finding was fairly consistent across the country.?

This got me thinking i may need to cater my new builds to appeal more to women than men. What are some of your 'must haves' that are items you always upgrade when building a mid spec house (Build cost under 200k)?
Below is my attempt to list the items ranked in order of best bang/buck.
I usually go for Evap A/C for builds under 200k.
