They found that the curb appeal of neighboring homes also has a big impact on a property\u2019s value. The appearance of the home next door accounts for around a third of its overall premium, the study found.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sriram Villupuram, a senior author of the study and an associate professor at UT Arlington, told the Wall Street Journal that it\u2019s common knowledge that Curb appeal has an impact on a home\u2019s value.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt\u2019s observable, but not quantifiable,\u201d Villupuram said. And so the researchers manually scored a set of properties using Google Street View on a scale of one to four (one indicates lowest curb appeal; four indicates highest).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Of course, curb appeal is an objective thing, but the researchers established rules to rate this. For example, if a property has blemishes such as a broken pavement or overgrow grass, this generally means a low curb appeal. Homes with high curb appeal include those with well-kept lawns and professional landscaping.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Home appraisers generally evaluate a home\u2019s value based on interior features like the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, square footage, and home improvements. But Villupuram told the Journal that the study\u2019s ultimate goal is to create an algorithm that could be used to automate assessments of curb appeal. Villupuram says that could make it easier for large investors, banks, and institutions to include such assessments in their property appraisals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/realtybiznews.com\/study-highlights-the-effect-of-curb-appeal-on-property-values\/98757408\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Study Highlights The Effect of Curb Appeal on Property Values<\/a> by Mike Wheatley | Realty Biz News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homes that possess a \u201chigh curb appeal\u201d tend to sell for more than those that don\u2019t, fetching an average of 7% more than similar homes with a less inviting exterior, &hellip;
