Buying a home is a major investment and you want to be sure the home you choose is the right one. What type of homes appreciate in value?
Look for these elements when buying a home that will appreciate in value.
• Classic home design. Homes with a classic, niche design style—like a Colonial, Spanish, Mid-Century, or Craftsman—are timeless. Thanks to their unique design, quality, and high-end craftsmanship, these styles of homes are more likely to retain their value over time (particularly when compared to more “cookie-cutter” homes).
• Location. A conforming location is always the best choice. A home in a poor location, such as a freeway close by or abutting a park or school, will always sell at a discount.
• School district. Being located in an award-winning school district such as La Canada, South Pasadena or La Crescenta will make your home sought after.
• Floor plan. A conforming floorplan that flows nicely to the outdoors is more desirable and more likely to retain its value at the time of resale.
