4 Surprising Things that could Add Value

Samuel Collins • March 26, 2018

Yes, we were surprised too! While we are generally aware of the things like number of bedrooms, school zones, and square footage the impact the value of a home here are four unique features that have an impact on your homes desirability for buyers.


1. Proximity to a Starbucks

While it may seem strange, homes within close proximity to a Starbucks are on buyers wish lists for their new home. In Winston Salem, we also see buyers preference for homes near Krankies, The Airstream Coffee Park, and Ardmore Coffee. How far are buyers willing to travel for their favorite cup of joe? Not too far at .25 miles!


2. Blue Bathrooms

Maybe it's the association with peaceful water that makes buyers find blue bathrooms desirable. The results are in and houses with blue bathrooms tend to go for a premium. If you are thinking of selling soon a trendy calm blue might help sell your home for more!

3. Trendy Features

Trendy or Wow features give buyers something to remember a home by and write home about. This past year features like "farm sinks" and "barn doors" where some of buyers favorites. Other top selling trends where "penny tile" and "ship lap." Builders have long known that beige is a great color to keep from offending the masses, but your home can sell for more with a couple trendy amenities that a buyer will fall in love with!

4. Proximity to a City

Many buyers are looking for a home close to shopping, jobs, great food, and entertainment! Homes closer to cities tend to sell for a higher price and are more desirable. Houses in metropolitan areas continue to set the national pace and continue to outrank rural areas as demand climbs and availability remains limited.

Are you looking to make the most of your homes value? Give us a call, we'd love to help sell your home for top dollar! 336-265-7253
