How Does a Corner Lot Home Affect Value? There is a fair amount of debate as to wether a home on a corner lot is more or less desirable than a home in a cul de sac or simply in a row of houses.  Here are a few considerations on this topic: Privacy - This is a mixed bag.  While the corner lot home has one less neighbor on one side, the house is also more exposed to traffice by cars or pedestrians.  You would need to look carefully at how exposed the home is and how visible the back/side yard may be to fully factor this in. Noise - If the corner has a lot of traffic and/or is on a four way stop, you may have increased noise.  On the other hand, if the 'would be' next door neighbor's kid was in a heavy metal band, the noise could be less than being wedged in along a street.  Open Space - R... 11/23/2013

What Makes a Starter Home? The "starter home" can mean many things to many people.  The lowest common denominator implies that the home buyer is not planning to live in the home forever. Beyond that, what can make a starter home great?

Potential Resale - If the home will be sold when the owner is ready to move up, make sure the resale potential is strong - good curb appeal, newer construction, quiet location, good schools, good floor plan, etc. Meets Immediate Needs - Buying a hom... 11/20/2013
