What factors influence the sales price of a property?

It is essential to know what factors influence the sales price of a property and what elements will determine the final value.

From our real estate agency in Calonge, we have hereunder summed up those factors that determine the sales price. Do not miss them!

Property type

The type of house we want to sell, along with the total square meters built and the condition of the property are factors that will have a significant impact on the sales value.

Other considerations are whether it is a single-family house, a semi-detached house, an attic, a bungalow or an apartment; and wether it is a new, renovated or second-hand home.

Area and surroundings

The location of a home  is of utmost importance and will largely determine the value of a property. Location is key to valuable real estate

Both the municipality and the neighborhood where the property is located are of influence. Important is wether the house is near the sea, if it is well surrounded, if it is close to schools, hospitals and shopping centers.

Energy efficiency

Energy efficient homes are gaining prominence among buyers. Its score is reflected in the Energy Efficiency certificate.

The Energy certificate also gives recommendations to improve efficiency and by that the score; this will increase the sale value. Possible improvements are thermal and acoustic insulation, use of renewable energy, installation of solar panels, etc.

Orientation

The orientation of the property determines the impact of the sun. This influences its energy consumption and attractiveness in general; and therefore the sale value. A property with a southwest location will be better valued than one that has a north orientation, since it will have many more hours of sun and natural light.

Outdoor areas

And finally, one of the elements that last year has become essential for buyers: the availability of outdoor areas. Large terraces, patios or gardens have become a necessity after the pandemic.

All features of a property that result in improving the quality of life of families are in high demand
