There are many variables that affect the sale price of a property. Not all homes that look the same sell for the same price. Even when they seem to be equal (size, condition, features), some homes just seem to sell for more. What is the difference?
A young recent arrival from France rented an apartment in Sydney. She complained that the property had no light and was dull all day and of course, never got any sun. She said she had made sure to choose a property that faced south so why was this happening? The look of consternation on her face when she realized that southern hemisphere rules regarding aspect are different from northern hemisphere ones was the best demonstration anyone could hope to see of the importance of that elusive variable that has a demonstrable impact on the sale price of homes – aspect.
Unfortunately, many people whose homes are not ideal in terms of aspect overlook this when setting the asking price of their homes. There aren’t many buyers who come from overseas bringing with them northern desirability criteria for aspect. Most buyers have northerly aspect on their wish list, and will only drop it from the list if the price is right.
