Describe and showcase community features in addition to home features.
Location is obviously one of the most important features of a home. That means that it is worth highlighting some community features of note in your listing materials. According to this article by NAR, one of the most in demand features is abundant in Coastal Virginia: greenspace and recreational areas.
What To Show
The article mentioned above points specifically to Virginia Beach as a standout spot as 18% of the city’s land area is devoted to recreational areas. That places it at number 6 on their list of the 50 largest metro areas in the US.
The parks and greenspaces in Virginia Beach and the surrounding areas are of increasing appeal to buyers, so it is important to demonstrate your listing’s proximity to them, and there are numerous ways to do just that.
How To Highlight It
Your listing description is the most obvious place to begin mentioning local amenities such as greenspace, but it is helpful to accompany that description with photos.
Where permitted by law, drone photography is a great way to show the listing’s proximity to points of interest. When drone use is not allowed in the area, a few shots of the park or recreation area mixed in at the end of your listing photo stack can also be enough to draw in more buyers.
