Vanity lighting, butcher block countertops and electric vehicle chargers are home features to rave about, according to a new study from Frontdoor, a home maintenance company. Researchers honed in on about 100 trending home features and identified listings with these items to see if those homes tended to sell faster.

Their findings can help you see what's resonating with home buyers so you can tout certain features in your listing descriptions and show them off in your photos. Here's a roundup of the top home features that Frontdoor researchers identified.

Frontdoor also analyzed features room by room to see what could be resulting in quicker sales. Below is a breakdown by area of the house.
