LOCATION - Nothing impacts value more than location. The local school system - the condition of neighboring homes - recent sales in the neighborhood - number of foreclosures and rentals - the reputation of the area - whether the home backs to the forest, a shopping area or a lake - can all affect the value of your home.
FLOOR PLAN - Some designs sell better than others. Currently, more “open” designs, studies, no formal living rooms, and master bedrooms downstairs are popular.
FEATURES - Certain features are preferred. The number and size of bedrooms and closets are important items. Extra space in the garage can make a difference. Sometimes the updating of a kitchen or bathroom can be the deciding factor.
CLEANLINESS and CONDITION - “Move in” condition sells! Most buyers don’t want to clean up or fix up a home after they buy it. Properties that are clean and well maintained ALWAYS sell quicker and for more money than others, including those offering a decorating or carpet “allowance.”
