Location, Location, Location
One of the biggest features that can set a home apart is its location. Sometimes, even homes in the same neighborhood can differ in value based on where they’re positioned. Whether it’s a quiet cul-de-sac, a corner lot, or a private setting with lots of trees, location can add serious value to your property. For example, a buyer might pay extra for an apartment because it overlooks the woods or the ocean instead of the parking lot. Another seller got a higher price because their home bordered a large, open yard, unlike most of the others in the neighborhood. Whether your home is close to the beach, shops, or restaurants, or has a beautiful view, location can be the key factor that helps sell your home quickly and for a higher price. How to Highlight Your Home’s Unique Features To sell your home effectively, identify and improve the features that make it stand out. Focus your marketing and showings around these aspects. For instance, if your home has a great backyard with a dog run, highlight that feature rather than explaining how a storage room could be converted into another bathroom. Buyers who are looking for specific features will gravitate toward your home if you showcase what makes it special. Here are some unique features you might want to highlight: • A house with ocean, marsh, or lake views. • A property that offers stunning sunrises or sunsets. • Special outdoor spaces like patios, decks, large gardens, or gazebos. • A large or private backyard, or one with a fence (fenced yards are a huge selling point for buyers with pets or kids). • Features like a finished basement, large attic, garage, or a swimming pool.
