Some Home Features Can Boost Sales Price

Study: Some uncommon features can boost a home selling prices by a few percent, including a “pot filler” – an above-the-stove water faucet that adds 3.2%.

NEW YORK – Some unusual or uncommon home features not only attract buyers but also encourage them to pay more for those features. In a study for Angi, formerly Angie’s List, researchers combed through sold listings to identify common or trending home features and then determined whether a price premium could be attached to some amenities.

In the kitchen, buyers may appreciate a pot filler faucet over the cooktop. Angi researchers said that feature alone could lead to a 3.2% price premium.

Other home features that can make a big difference

  • Pendant lighting (2.66% price premium)
  • Under-cabinet lighting (2.48%)
  • Double-sink vanity (2.35%); barn door (2.32%)
  • Butcher block (2.26%)
  • Quartz countertops (2.26%)
  • Oversized windows (2.23%)

Most-valued features by room

  • Double sink vanity: 2.35%
  • En suite: 1.41%
  • Pot filler: 3.2%
  • Fireplace: 1.97%
  • Outdoor kitchen: 2.05%
