20 Things That Affect The Value of Your Home — 10 Positively, 10 Negatively

RiseYes, I’m aware that countrywide mortgage had a big meltdown, and that the whole world is talking about that. Yes, I believe it’s big news. And finally, yes, like you, I’m burned out on all the mortgage discussion. So I thought I’d finish the week with something that will help in these troubled times.

Yahoo Finance has done a great piece on things that affect the sale (value / marketability) of your home. There are 10 positive things and 10 negative. This one is worth the read. I’m not going to spoil it for you by listing them here. There is a good explanation of why under each item, and it’s tightly written. Don’t miss this one. Click here for the full story.

    This is an extremely useful post, especially in a declining buyers market. It can help investors to notice what makes a home a good buy, and a good sell, on both sides.

    I love it, well done.
