For example, a large backyard might be a non-negotiable for a family with small children, but a single buyer might actually see too much property as a downside. In other words, some features that attract you to a property might actually turn other people off about that same property.<\/p>\n<p>And while differing opinions are fine, there are certain home features that, while you might love them, could actually make it harder to sell the property in the future.<\/p>\n<p>So what, exactly, are those features? According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/advice\/buy\/features-make-home-hard-to-sell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a recent article from realtor.com<\/a>, features that could make it harder to sell your home (even if you personally love those features) include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Being located next to a school.<\/strong>\u00a0If you have kids, buying a home that\u2019s right next to their school could seem like a major selling point. But not everyone has (or likes!) kids. For those people, having a home so close to a school (and all the noise and traffic that goes with it) could be the\u00a0<em>opposite<\/em>\u00a0of a selling point.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Being located near (or on) a busy street.<\/strong>\u00a0If you want to live in a lively area and like to walk everywhere, buying a home next to a busy street full of restaurants, coffee shops, and stores probably feels like a no-brainer. But a lot of buyers are looking for a property that feels quiet and private. Being too close to a busy street generally translates to a lot of car and foot traffic, which is neither quiet\u00a0<em>or<\/em>\u00a0private and can turn off some buyers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A swimming pool.<\/strong>\u00a0For some people, having a swimming pool feels like the ultimate \u201cI made it!\u201d home feature. But for others, a swimming pool feels like way too much work and upkeep. So, if you\u2019re part of that first group, just realize that not everyone feels the same way about pools, and when you decide to sell, your \u201cI made it!\u201d feature could actually make the home harder to sell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Buyers are looking for different features, depending on their own personal wants and needs.\u00a0 If you&#8217;re looking to buy or sell a home in\u00a0 the Halifax-Dartmouth-Bedford-Sackville and surrounding areas of Nova Scotia, don&#8217;t hesitate to call me!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/peggyjensen.bestrealestateblog.com\/home-features-that-could-make-home-harder-to-sell\">https:\/\/peggyjensen.bestrealestateblog.com\/home-features-that-could-make-home-harder-to-sell<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home features \u2014 and whether they add to or detract from a property \u2014 are highly subjective.
