The Features That Help a Home Sell Fastest—and the Ones That Don’t

June 8th, 2016



From Realtor.com:  Fasten your seat belts, it’s going to be a wild year in real estate! Our chief economist, Jonathan Smoke, has predicted that 2016 will be a true seller’s market, and it’s already galloping out of the starting gate.

Of course, not all homes are equal, and they don’t sell equally well, either. Most homes are a unique mosaic of attractive features (sparkling new granite counters!) and sometimes frustrating flaws (hey, what’s with the dilapidated porch?). Which part of that equation comes out on top will help determine what how quickly your place will move.

But what are the specific features that make some homes hotter than anti-Obama posters at a Trump rally? We set out to quantify just how much of a difference the most popular features can make in selling a home, and how certain features can slow the pace to a crawl—to separate out the stainless steel from the popcorn ceilings.

Some interesting patters were revieled in this study and you can see them here.
