THE ENGEL & VÖLKERS STORY
Engel & Völkers was founded in 1977. We began as a specialty boutique agency providing high-end real estate services to wealthy European investors in search of assistance from experts who were highly professional and discreet. We proved our competence and passion early on and quickly earned a reputation for our unparalleled level of service, highly valued network and strong leadership in the market. Our successes lead to greater demand for what we offered. With a brand gaining in recognition and reputation, we established a system that allowed us to expand without sacrificing our higher standards of quality.
In 1988, we launched our own lifestyle, design and architecture magazine, GG. Through this publication, we define our brand and showcase the premier properties we represent. In 1990, we
opened our first international shop in Majorca, Spain. It marked the beginning of our worldwide expansion throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America.
Today, there are approximately 9,000 real estate advisors in over 30+ countries and with 850 locations spanning through six continents. Though the Engel & Völkers firm has grown beyond a small boutique agency, you can still rely on us for the qualities that remain our keys to success - local market expertise, a highly valued network, and an unparalleled level of service quality.
Operating in Vancouver since 2015, Engel & Völkers Vancouver has experienced unmatched success in our market. We have locations in Yaletown (our flagship shop), Kerrisdale, West Vancouver and South Surrey with over 125 Real Estate Advisors that bring an elevated experience to Vancouver and beyond. With a refined brand and innovative team, we’re here not only to buy and sell homes, but to help you discover the fullness of life found in your next move— whether it’s a first home, dream home, or even a castle (we can help with those, too). From Vancouver to Majorca, Boston to Belize, and everywhere in between, our people possess a shared passion for all that we do.
When considering buying or selling a property, it is essential to work with true market experts who take the time to understand your unique real estate goals.

Many have grown up in the neighborhood and have a network of clients who are also their friends. What they all have in common is the ability to reach buyers and markets locally, nationally and around the world.
Engel &Völkers began providing services more than 30 years ago as a boutique agency known for its highly specialized real estate service to a small but exclusive clientele.

Your Engel & Völkers advisor will tend to every need throughout the home sales process to ensure a worry free experience for you. You can expect insight and information from a market expert, marketing strategies tailored to your property, proactive communication and ongoing consultation.
The marketing professionals at Engel & Völkers who support our advisors have committed themselves to a clearly defined goal: to identify the maximum value of your home and to sell it for the best price possible.
Using our broad range of expertise and the specialized training received at our company-owned academy, we dedicate ourselves to this goal and perform with total passion.
The better we know you, the better we can serve you. That is why we start with an individual consultation with every client. Our goal is to get a better understanding of your expectations and to learn more about the property through your eyes.
As a leading real estate company with an international profile, you will be provided with exceptional service that starts from day one. During this step in the process, our advisor will review every aspect of your property, ask questions and research the local market trends and activity.
The steps are taken to determine key marketing points, outline the ways in which we will collaborate with you on a pricing strategy, identify your home’s target audience and gain a full understanding of your specific and unique needs. This crucial first step sets a course for you, our advisor, our brokerage and our brand to work together to sell your home at the highest price within an acceptable time frame and in a stress-free manner
The scope of our research:
• Review your property
• Conduct a homeowner interview
• Research market activity and trends
• Identify target audience
• Outline pricing strategy
• Gain full understanding of unique homeowner needs
Finding the best buyer for a home is to expose it to the largest number of potential buyers. The market dictates the amount of attention a home will receive based on its listed price. Pricing above market value will get the attention of fewer potential buyers. Pricing at or below market value will attract more buyers.
The chart represents the amount of interest among potential homebuyers once a property is listed. Statistics show that interest and excitement are highest within the first four weeks on the market. With the higher level of interest comes the best opportunity to communicate the value of the property and to ultimately sell it.
Preparation and, especially pricing, are crucial in capitalizing on this initial exposure. As weeks pass and without the added recognition as a “new listing”, interest falls and reintroducing the home at an adjusted price typically does not receive the same attention as the first four weeks.
Pricing is everything. If you miss the right price range, the chances are fewer buyers.

EXTENSIVE DOMESTIC & GLOBAL EXPOSURE
At Engel & Völkers we keep our consumers’ best interests top of mind, leading with personal experience and leveraging technology to enhance the white glove service we provide. In the evolving landscape of real estate it’s important that we continue to align ourselves with diverse and strategic partners that provide the greatest opportunities to give our network an EDGE in their business and consumers the EDGE in selling their homes through the most efficient and enjoyable process possible. That EDGE has never been stronger!
The Extensive Domestic & Global Exposure (EDGE) platform for our North American network is a means of expanding our online listing syndication platform created to provide you that very EDGE.
90% of home buyers began their search using the internet and 47% who started this way actually purchased the home they found online.

Our partnership with ListHubGlobal, the nation’s number one distribution network, is one of the key ways we attract more potential buyers to our listings.

Meaning; “home overseas”, the site is visited by thousands of Chinese buyers, the largest international property buying force, each day from over 315 cities throughout China, as well as major Chinese communities in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore.
The Wall Street Journal has expanded its online marketing power with the introduction in 2015 of Mansion Global, a standalone, luxury real estate website and mobile app that connects wealthy global buyers with extraordinary properties. James Edition is the premium online marketplace where high-networth buyers search worldwide to find extraordinary real estate, yachts, jets, jewelry and all accouterments of the luxury lifestyle.

Our strategy in social media is to be where our clients and potential clients are, providing content of true value and driving traffic to our properties. We also use social media to strengthen our connections locally by reporting and sharing news and interests happening within our community.
While a greater number of property searches begin online, our relationships with the world’s leading publications, local magazines and newspapers and our ongoing public relations activities ensure all around maximum exposure for our listings in print.
Engel & Völkers has maintained special arrangements for years that allow our properties heightened exposure in local, national and international print publications such as The New York Times, Architectural Digest, The International New York Times (formerly The International Herald Tribune) and Condé Nast Traveler.
Our listings appear in foreign publications abroad through our international network of Engel & Völkers shops in 39 countries. Our own publication GG, is designed to promote our properties to our exclusive network of valued clients, and we also work closely with widely read print publications in our area for the best placements of Engel & Völkers listing and to maximize targeted exposure locally.
In 1988, we launched GG magazine, a high-end, glossy publication created to keep our clients informed of the latest news and trends in the luxury lifestyle world. It was also the place for us to share premier properties represented by Engel & Völkers.
Printed seasonally and in six languages, GG explores culture, art, design and architecture and profiles innovators, artists and celebrities as well as the incredible homes in which they live. It is also the high end catalog in which we present the properties we represent, including yours.
As part of GG, your property can be delivered directly to Engel & Völkers’ top clients, distributed through our international network and made available on newsstands throughout Europe. GG celebrates life and culture, and continues to be the centerpiece of our marketing efforts and the anchor for our growing brand influence.
It has been said, and it is true, that a daily newspaper is the first draft of history. But it is so much more than that, at least in the case of The Vancouver Sun, which for the past century has been telling the story of its young namesake city and the people who live here.
As part of the Vancouver Sun Advertising Program, we will be able to Feature your listing and showcase it to qualified buyers. We will be able to feature your property in a bi-weekly print ad in the Vancouver Sun, the #1 paper in the region, with a daily circulation of over 156,000.
Published four times a year, Private Residences North America showcases the premier properties represented by Engel & Völkers and offers your property both national and international exposure. This publication is a way for you to reach potential buyers both here and abroad. Private Residences is sought after by Engel & Völkers brokerages internationally for its focus on North American markets.
Additionally, each issue is delivered directly to our exclusive database of home buyers, estate managers, financial advisors and relocation consultants.
Proven measures for ensuring a successful showing:
• Depersonalizing interior design
• Ideal scheduling
• Light repairs, landscaping to enhance curb appeal
• Talking points to elaborate on the home’s best features
We believe that careful planning, preparation and a depth of knowledge about your property are the elements of a successful home showing. This includes ideal scheduling to professional staging to a strategic approach to hosting the event.
Our list of contacts include professional services for light repairs, landscaping and staging. We work with you to identify the most convenient dates and hours for the showing and promote them to achieve the highest number of attendees.
Our service focuses on quickly relaying purchase offers and advising on the submission of counter-offers, the negotiating process itself, inspections, contractual issues and closing preparations.
While we communicate often throughout this process as your representative, it is our role to stand firm and skillfully negotiate on your behalf and to achieve the best results for you. We will assist you throughout the transaction, be present at closing and handle the exchange of keys.
Ideal conditions for a successful closing:
• Agreement between all parties concerning the purchase price and contingencies
Proper preparation of all required documents
• Regular communications between all parties
• Transaction management
• Service at closing
• Assistance during the handover of the property
Success is a wonderful thing but sharing that success makes it even more so. A family contact of our President and CEO, Christian Völkers drew our attention to Africa and specifically to the village of Agbetiko.
We believe that our business operations are inextricably linked with a duty to act in a socially responsible way. That is why we have founded the Engel & Völkers Charity e.V. to actively support a primary school project in Togo, West Africa.
The living conditions of children living in the so called “Fourth World” leave no scope for evasion and discussion. It is not just financial inter-connectedness that poses a challenge in our age of globalization but above all social and humanitarian integration.
Engel & Völkers is the first cause marketing sponsor for Special Olympics campaign. This new campaign plans to inspire and mobilize youth around the world to connect with people with intellectual disabilities and create more inclusive communities, leading to a more respectful world for everyone. “Engel & Völkers is proud to be a part of developing the first Unified Generation that will fight inactivity, intolerance and injustice for people with intellectual disabilities,” said CEO of Engel & Völkers North America, Anthony Hitt.

Special Olympics is a global movement that unleashes the human spirit through the transformative power and joy of sports, every day around the world.

Our company, Engel & Volkers, is a multifaceted business that operates with you, the customer, at the forefront of our dayto-day operations. We are well known and respected in the community and our philosophies are based on both honesty and integrity. As a client centered business, you will receive personal service and be backed by a reputable company. We offer the EDGE Marketing, Extensive Domestic Global Exposure. Listings are automatically populated on global sights such as Mansion Global, Wall Street Journal, James Edition, Juwai.com, ListHub, and the Engel & Volkers website.
We implement multi-level marketing strategies that benefit our clients with every transaction. Our real estate agents have extensive access to information about the communities in which they deal. This includes, but is not limited to: schools, populations, recreation, entertainment, home values, growth potential and surrounding areas. Many agents live in the areas we serve and therefore can more accurately overcome potential obstacles and focus on the unique needs of our clients.
The real estate market is always changing and as a result, our agents regularly attend training sessions and events to further their knowledge and be sure that they are focusing on current conditions that affect today's buyers and sellers. This type of training is imperative if we are to be successful in obtaining top dollar on home sales. Our goal is to make sure that we satisfy the special needs of all of our clients and at the same time make the process and transactions go as smoothly as possible.
Our company is dedicated to maintaining a professional, trustworthy relationship with our clients. One way this can be seen is through this Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) which you hold in your hand. This CMA compiles the most current and accurate information relevant to the sale of your home. Seeing that this is perhaps your most valuable asset, it is imperative that you be equipped with the most complete information possible related to the pricing and marketing of your home.
No two homes are identical, which is why choosing a sales price or offer price for a home can be challenging. That's where the comparative market analysis, or CMA, is most useful.
What is a CMA?
The CMA is a side-by-side comparison of homes for sale and homes that have recently sold in the same neighborhood and price range. This information is further sorted by data such as type of home, number of bedrooms, number of baths, lot size, neighborhood, property condition and features, and many other factors. The purpose is to show estimated market value, based on what other buyers and sellers have determined through past sales, pending sales and homes recently put on the market.
How is the CMA created?
CMAs are generated by using property information from your real estate agent's multiple listing service (MLS). The MLS is available to licensed members only, including brokers, salespeople, and appraisers, who pay dues to gain access to the service's public and proprietary data, including tax roll information, sold transactions, and listings input by all cooperating MLS members. Listing agents generate CMAs for their sellers, and buyer's agents create them for their buyers so both sides know what current market conditions are for the homes they're interested in comparing.
How accurate are CMAs?
The CMA is a here-and-now snapshot of the market, based on the most recent data available, but it can instantly be rendered obsolete by a new listing, or a change of status in a home with the same criteria. Why? The market is constantly changing - new listings, pending sales, closed sales, price reductions, and expired listings.
CMAs can vary widely, depending on the knowledge and skill of the person creating the CMA as well as the number and type of data fields that are chosen. That means some features may not be included.
As informative as the CMA is, it should only be used as a tool and should not substitute for your real estate professional's knowledge and advice.

The vast majority of real estate agents work on commission, meaning that they are paid once the transaction closes. To simplify how commissions are routed, sales commissions are paid out of the seller's proceeds, according to the terms of the listing agreement and/or the sales contract. Thus, the buyers' agent commission is paid by the sellers, as a portion of their listing commission.
All commissions paid to a real estate agent have to pass through their broker; only a broker can pay a commission and only a broker can sign a listing agreement or a buyer representation agreement.
When the home is listed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), the listing broker discloses the terms of the commission to other cooperating brokers, so they know what compensation is offered before they bring their buyers to the listing. When the buyer's broker presents an offer to the seller, it typically includes a provision to collect their share of the sales commission, as offered by the listing agent in the MLS.
At the closing, you will see the amount of commission being paid to each agent's brokerage on the closing disclosure form. There will be a portion for the listing brokerage and a portion for the selling brokerage. Each agent will then be paid by their broker for whatever amount of the commission they have earned based on their compensation agreement with their brokerage.
Because agents are independent contractors, they use their portion of the commission to cover all of their business costs, including marketing, health insurance, licensing costs, business insurance, continuing education, and more.
Sue Scott PREC Engel & Volkers Vancouver | West Vancouver Cell: 604.928.1588
Given the proliferations of services that help home buyers and sellers complete their own transaction, you may have considered whether you should go it yourself instead of working with an agent. However, there is no substitute for an experienced professional, and taking on all the responsibility yourself could be costlier than an agent's commission in the long run.
According to the National Association of Realtors' 2021 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, only 7% of homes sales were accomplished as for sale by owners (FSBO), and of those, 57% knew their buyer personally. FSBO home sales had a median price of $260,000 in 2021, compared to the agent assisted home sale median price of $318,000.
Beyond the price advantage of using an agent, homes listed by real estate professionals get more exposure and their sellers get more support. Here are some other considerations:
• They're trained and licensed professionals.
• They have experience in your neighborhood and your market.
• They have oversight from brokers and state licensing officials.
• Their job is to advise you the best way to reach your goals.
• They know how to present your home and deal with buyers.
• They know how and where to market properties effectively
• They know how to overcome typical snags that occur in real estate transactions and closings.
• They understand state-required disclosures and look out for your best interests.
• They understand personal safety and security for your belongings during showings.
• They know the best resources to make transactions go more smoothly, from bankers to home-stagers to contractors.
• They have access to the most accurate and comprehensive data - the MLS, the only data repository that has the most up-to-date listing and sales information.
• They know how to negotiate.
• Their job is making real estate transactions successful.
• Their continuing education keeps them up-to-date on housing issues.
With a real estate professional in your corner, you'll have a partner by your side to advocate for you and advise you through the entire home sale process.
Pricing a home for sale is as much art as science, but there are a few truisms that never change.
• Fair market value attracts buyers, overpricing never does.
• The first two weeks of marketing are crucial.
• The market never lies, but it can change its mind.
Fair market value is what a willing buyer and a willing seller agree by contract is a fair price for the home. Values can be impacted by a wide range of reasons, but the two biggest are location and condition. Generally, fair market value can be estimated by considering the comparables - other similar homes that have sold or are currently for sale in the same area.
Sellers often view their homes as special, which tempts them to put a higher price on it, believing they can always come down later, but that's a serious mistake.
Overpricing prevents the very buyers who are eligible to buy the home from ever seeing it. Most buyers shop by price range and look for the best value in that range.
Sue Scott PREC Engel & Volkers Vancouver | West Vancouver
Your best chance of selling your home is in the first two weeks of marketing. Your home is fresh and exciting to buyers and to their agents.
With a sign in the yard, full description and photos in the local Multiple Listing Service, distribution across the Internet, open houses, broker's caravan, ads, and email blasts to your listing agent's buyers, your home will get the greatest flurry of attention and interest in the first two weeks.
If you don't get many showings or offers, you've probably overpriced your home, and it's not comparing well to the competition. Since you can't change the location, you'll have to either improve the home's condition or lower the price.
Consult with your agent and ask for feedback. Perhaps you can do a little more to spruce up your home's curb appeal, or perhaps stage the interior to better advantage.
The market can always change its mind and give your home another chance, but by then you've lost precious time and perhaps allowed a stigma to cloud your home's value.
Intelligent pricing isn't about getting the most for your home - it's about getting your home sold quickly at fair market value.
Most buyers form their first impression of your home before they even get out of the car. Curb appeal is the view from the curb that gives potential buyers the first chance to fall in love with your home.
The exterior of your home should be in pristine condition - clean, cleared of clutter, with no visible repairs needed. A broken step, overgrown bush, or abandoned toys in the yard can spoil both the home's appearance and the potential buyer's first impression.
Here's a simple cleanup and spruce up checklist to make sure your home leaves a stellar first impression:
• Clear driveways and walkways of snow, weeds, and debris. Repair or replace cracked steps or pavers. Whenever possible, driveways should be clear of vehicles.
• Keep your lawn mowed, edged, and watered. Prune dead branches and plants. Weed flower beds and replace leggy, thin landscaping with fresh plants and flowers.
• Replace loose or damaged roof shingles, clean the gutters, and paint and caulk window trim and doors.
• Make the front door area shine: consider repainting your front door and placing a new welcome mat. Polish the door hardware and make sure all front facing windows are clean.
• Power wash siding, brick, windows, and porches.
• Replace light fixtures -and if possible, pick new fixtures with the same mounting system to save time and hassle.
• Install new house numbers that match the finish of your light fixtures.
• Consider upgrading your mailbox; it's an inexpensive fix and the first thing that buyers will see when they pull up to your home.
• Install flowerboxes or pots of blooming flowers for a pop of color.
• Hang a seasonal wreath from your front door
When you list your home for sale, it becomes a product rather than your personal retreat. You want potential homebuyers to be able to envision themselves living in the home, which can be difficult if your family's personality is still evident. Before going on market, your agent will recommend decluttering and depersonalizing, but you may also want to bring in a professional stager to help guide you through showing your home in its most marketable light.
When done correctly, staging can not only set the right emotional tone for buyers about the home, but can also help highlight the most attractive features of the home. Staging can potentially make you money, too: 77% of listing agents said a well-staged environment increases the dollar value buyers are willing to offer, according to the National Association of Realtors Profile of Home Staging. Staging can also shorten the length of time your home is on the market, with agents reporting that their staged homes were going under contract faster than those without.
A professional stager will typically begin with an in-home consultation, where they will walk through your home with you, review the property, and provide a report with their advice for the home. The report will include advice on de-cluttering, storing items, reorganizing furniture placement, and possibly changing out paint colors in different rooms. The stager may also give tips for improving curb appeal. The most common rooms that are staged are the living room, kitchen, master bedroom, and dining room.
Depending on what your home needs, and whether you want to do the work yourself or hire it done, your stager could handle bringing in supplementary furniture and décor items, manage painting or other contractors coming to your home, and have a more hands on role in getting your home ready to go on the market. The cost of services provided will vary depending how much assistance your home will need.
Once your home goes on the market, real estate agents may call to show your home anytime, even if you've listed preferred showing times in the instructions. Keeping your home in showtime condition can be challenging, especially if you have children and pets. Here are some pointers for presenting your home in the best light
• Eliminate clutter: The less cluttered your home, the better it shows. If you have a lot of knick-knacks, collections, or family mementos, consider renting a portable storage unit, which can be stored until it's time to deliver it to your new home.
• Keep, donate, throw away: If you have time before you go on the market, sort unwanted belongings into one of these three baskets. You'll receive more in tax benefits for your donations than pennies on the dollar at a garage sale. It's faster, more efficient and you'll help more people.
• Remove temptations: Take valuable jewelry and collectibles to a safety deposit box, a safe, or store them in a secure location. Also secure your prescription medicine and private financial documents.
• Remove breakables: Figurines, china, crystal and other breakables should be packed and put away in the garage or storage.
• Be hospitable: You want your home to look like a home. Open the blinds, turn on the lights, and make visitors feel welcomed.
• Have a family plan of action: When a showing happens at an inconvenient time, get the family engaged. Everyone can pitch in to tidy up in a hurry: pick up glasses, plates, clothing, and anything else left lying about.
• Get in the habit: Wash dishes immediately after meals. Clean off countertops. Make beds in the morning. Keep pet toys and beds washed and smelling fresh.
• Clean out the garage and attic: Buyers want to see what kind of storage there is.
Everyone gets a basket and cleans up clutter. Check for hazards, like toys left on the floor. Make sure all toys, including bicycles, are put away.
• Put pets in daycare, sleep cages or take them with you: In the listing instructions, there should be a warning if there is a big dog on premises. Buyers with allergies also may appreciate knowing in advance if you have pets.
• Turn on lights: Open the drapes, turn on lights so buyers can really see.
• Give the buyer privacy: The buyer cannot come to your home without being accompanied by an agent. They will be more comfortable touring the home without your presence.
Moving to a new home can be an exciting but stressful journey. By finding the right movers and having a good, though flexible, moving plan, most of the common moving headaches can be easily avoided.
Finding the best mover for you at the right price involves a simple evaluation of your needs. Moving companies provide a wide range of services, from planning your move, storing your things, packing and unpacking, to decorating and organizing your belongings in your new home. You can choose which services you want and have them tailored to suit your budget.
When you compare price and service estimates from several companies, you will find that estimates are based on the weight of your household items, the distance they will be moved, and the amount of packing and other services you will require. Be sure to show the estimator every item that will be moved. Estimates should be done in person and include a clear explanation of rates and charges that will apply, the mover's liability for your belongings, pick-up and delivery schedules, and claims protection.
If you are moving interstate, you should read and understand all of the information you will receive. In addition to brochures explaining their various services, moving companies should give you a copy of a consumer booklet titled "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move" and information regarding the mover's participation in a Dispute Settlement Program. Distribution of the consumer booklet and the requirement that movers must offer shippers neutral arbitration as a means of settling disputes that may arise concerning loss or damage on household goods shipments are requirements of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
Even in the most well-planned moves, something unexpected may happen. In those instances, insurance is crucial. Check with your homeowner's insurance provider about coverage for your belongings while moving. Your mover will provide either released value insurance (about $0.60 per pound of goods lost or damaged, according to NAVL.com) or full replacement value, which you must sign for on your bill of lading. If you are not sure how to estimate the value of your belongings for insurance purposes, your insurance carrier can help. Items of special value such as heirlooms, paintings, or collectibles can be insured under separate riders. In the event of damage to an item, file a claim immediately. Be sure to save the packing materials to show to the adjuster, should there be any problems.
Once the time has come to start packing and organizing, here are some tips to make the process smooth:
• Start by packing the things you use most infrequently.

• Pare down items that have accumulated over time by grouping them into 3 categories Keep, Donate, or Throw Away
• Create an inventory sheet of valuables and a list of which boxes they were packed in.
• Label your boxes according to the rooms where they'll be moved - bedroom #2, 1st floor bath, etc. Consider using different colored stickers/tape for each room.
• Provide your movers with copies of the floorplan of your new home, so they can move more efficiently without having to stop and ask you where things go.
• Try to keep boxes under 50 lbs. whenever possible, put heavier items in smaller boxes to reduce bulkiness, and place lighter items in larger boxes.
• Dispose of items that can't be moved, like flammable liquids, cleaning fluids, etc. Prepare your mower by emptying the fuel and recycle your propane grill tanks.
• Snap a photo of the back of electronic devices so you know which wires to attach when setting them up in your new home.
• Pack an overnight bag with moving day essentials, including toiletries, clothes, medications, and charger cords.

- P. Pucher - Norm and Nancy - Susan and Bob HoyIn a neighborhood of similar homes, why is one worth more than another? That's the question that's teased buyers and sellers for ages, but the answer is simple.
When a home is sold, a willing seller and a willing buyer determine the value of that home with the sale price. That price then becomes a benchmark for other similar homes, but other factors come into play. The most important are:
The closer a home is to jobs, parks, transportation, schools, and community services, the more desirable it is.
Square footage impacts home value because a larger home is built using more materials, and gives the homeowner more usable space. And a larger lot size could mean more privacy than a smaller one.
Additional bedrooms and bathrooms raise the value of a home compared to similar homes that do not have those rooms.
Features such as outdoor kitchens and spa baths make a home more luxurious. A home finished with hardwood floors and granite countertops is going to cost more than a home with carpet and laminate countertops.
The closer a home is to new construction, the more it will retain its value. It's perceived as more modern, up to date, and perhaps safer. Homes that are not updated or in poor repair sell for less as purchasers' factor in the cost of updating and eventually replacing appliances and systems.
From the street, the home looks clean, fresh, and inviting. Fresh landscaping and flowers won't change the size or location, but they certainly add charm.
When two homes are identical in the same neighborhood, a higher price may come down to something as simple as views, paint colors, or the overall taste of the homeowner.
