Single-Family Home Features That Drive Value

Square footage is the strongest driver of a home's value, with homes over 3,000 sq ft valued 55% higher than those under 1,000 sq ft. Each additional full bathroom adds about 32% to value, while each bedroom adds 5%. Popular amenities like garages and fireplaces increase value by around 10%, and centralized air conditioning can boost value by up to 48% in warmer climates. Functional design also enhances value without extra space.
