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. You might have a private location. For instance, your lot might be partially concealed by trees, or you might have an empty lot next to you. Use this to market your property. You might have a unique backyard. If you have a larger backyard than your neighbors, use that to your advantage. A shady backyard can also help you sell your property. Some people like the idea of lounging in the shade. A fenced-in backyard is also a big selling point. People with kids and pets flock to homes with fenced-in backyards. You can also look at other features. For instance, a finished basement can help you sell your home. You can market a large attic, an extra-large garage, a swimming pool, or anything else that makes your home stand out. Look for the 20% difference and find a way to market it. That is how you will get results. You cannot just throw the information into your listing, though. You have to take the right approach.
