When potential buyers view your home, they are just as interested in the surrounding area as they are in the property itself. So, before listing your home on the market, it makes sense to think about your community and its key characteristics.
Here’s a good way to do that:
Imagine a relative from out-of-town coming to visit. She may say that she likes your community, and wants to know what you enjoy most about living there.
How would you answer?
Would you talk about the friendly nearby residents? Would you list the community events? Name all the local shopping? Describe the nice restaurants within walking distance? Or tell her about the local playground?
There are probably many things about your community that make it great. What are the top three? Those are probably characteristics of the area that most buyers will want to know.
