Edmonton Home Sale: Neighbors Effect
When buyers are looking for an Edmonton house factors like location, kitchen, square footage and number of bedrooms and bathrooms are important. But there are some other less obvious things which can make or break a sale of an Edmonton house and one of them is your so called neighbors.
Even if your Edmonton home is in perfect condition, you neighbors could affect the value of your Edmonton property.
Here are some ways which your neighbors can affect your Edmonton home sale.
Neigborhood Foreclosure
Foreclosure in your neighborhood is a bad sign for homes on the market. It may not deter first-time buyers who are looking for a starter home but more experience buyers may see it as a sign of an awful neighborhood which can cause the buyers to past right by your Edmonton property.
Full Volume
Another prospect of homebuyers is the tranquillity of a neighborhood. Whether there is a teenager’s party or just loud music being heard across the street as a potential buyer visits your Edmonton house, it can destroy the calm environment that you are portraying.
Smoking
A simple turn-off for potential buyers is next-door smokers. Secondhand smoke can pass through open windows which in the process fouling the indoor air.
Dogs
An aggressive dog or just any dog next door can be a real dilemma for sellers especially when dealing with parents with young kids. Safety is one of the top priorities of families in search for an Edmonton house, dogs can compromise that.
Forgotten Paint
There is that one house in every neighborhood that hasn’t tasted a fresh coat of paint in decades. This eyesore may affect your sale especially if it’s one of your immediate neighbors. Buyers may think twice before making a deal.
Rule Breakers
Troublesome neighbors are hard to be dealt with especially the rebellious ones. If you live in a subdivision that requires citizens to abide by the rules and regulation of the area then neighbors who violate these rules are a big turn-off which in turn makes your potential buyers look elsewhere.
