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.

- Double-sink vanity (2.35%); barn door (2.32%)
- Butcher block (2.26%)
- Quartz countertops (2.26%)
- Oversized windows (2.23%)
