spectacular view of the surrounding area. • Maybe your home looks out on an open field frequented by wildlife. Many people would like that view. • Perhaps your house has an unobstructed view of the sunset. That would interest potential buyers. • Patios are another great feature. Maybe the rest of your neighbors have smaller patios or none at all. That vital feature could help you sell your home. • Location can set your property apart from others. Not your addressed location but rather your location compared to the surrounding homes. A buyer once paid extra for a townhouse simply because of its location in the complex. Most of the surrounding homes did not have any yard. However, a few shared a large half- acre “yard area.” One of the owners whose townhome backed up to this yard area sold his townhouse for a higher price. It set his property apart from others on the market. His home had a characteristic shared by fewer than 10% of the others. He had the only available listing offering that feature. With this easy point of difference, the house sold for a higher price. Another townhome seller in the same complex did not have a yard, but his property backed up to a lake and fountain. That extra feature helped him sell his townhouse quickly and for a great price.
