Wanted: Orlando homes to sell with pet showers.

According to a recent article from Realty Times titled What's In, What's Out with Home Buyers in 2008 by Mark Nash, one of the "what's in" are homes with pet showers. The writer states:

"The kitchen or work sink is out for the dog bath. Dedicated dog showers are an emerging trend. Be it in a mud or utility room, garage corner or basement, dog lovers want a place to clean their favored pooch after a visit to the neighborhood dog park. Common dog showers feature a 3' x 3' shower base, surrounded by ceramic tile 4' up the wall. Pet showers are all about the convenience for Fido to step in, and eliminate the master's need to lift."

Ok, dog showers are now a must for pet lovers looking to buy a home.

Here is the bad news. I searched the entire MID-Florida MLS and was not able to find a home listed for sale with a pet shower or dog shower or cat shower as a feature being listed or described in the comments.

Do they exist or do we need to have our builders, the ones that are still building in Central Florida, to make sure they include pet showers as an option?

If you own a home with a pet shower and are thinking of selling your home, call me. I'll make sure I do a follow blog letting everyone know about the first home of it's kind on the market in Central Florida.
