Pet-friendly neighborhoods can indeed increase home values. Here's how:
- Higher Demand: 73% of homebuyers report having at least one pet, up from 64% in 2020[2]. This increased demand for pet-friendly homes can drive up prices.
- Premium Pricing: In Manhattan, pet-friendly co-ops and condos generally have higher asking prices than those in buildings that don't allow pets[1].
- Faster Sales: Homes with pet-friendly features like fenced yards sold five times faster than expected[2].
- Neighborhood Appeal: 29% of young millennial buyers chose their neighborhood with their pet in mind[2]. Pet-friendly areas are seen as more desirable, potentially increasing overall property values.
- Park Proximity: Excellent parks, including dog parks, can add up to 15% to a home's value, depending on proximity[4].
- Community Cohesion: Dog parks and pet-friendly features bring neighbors together, enhancing community appeal and potentially increasing property values[4].
- Amenity Perception: For some buyers, pet-friendly features are viewed as amenities, potentially increasing their willingness to pay more[1].
While the impact varies, these factors suggest that pet-friendly neighborhoods can positively influence home values by attracting more buyers and commanding higher prices.
