From the ValuVault: Why Location Drives Value

ValuNation by Nationwide Property & Appraisal Services

Episode notes

Charlie Johnson explains why where your property sits often matters more than what’s inside it.

– Tight 2025 inventory = premium for prime areas

– Same home, different neighborhood = huge value swing– Proximity to jobs, schools, transit can boost value by 10% or more

📌 Buyers: Check school ratings and commute stats before you bid.

📌 Mortgage pros: Keep comps hyper-local—within a quarter mile for urban spots.

Location is the one thing you can’t renovate. Do the homework upfront.
