Unusual home features that sell your home faster can be simple or complex — it’s all in how these things are presented. Having a unique feature, whether architectural or lovingly created by you, can seem to some like an obstacle to selling a home. When popular home décor magazines and articles counsel sellers to genericize their home, having a unique feature might discourage some people. But never fear, that unique feature might be the reason your home sells faster!
A Custom Kid’s Playroom
Got a spectacular kid’s playroom where you’ve built a reading nook, a climbing wall, library shelves, hand-painted murals and more? Feature it in your photos. There’s a family out there looking for that room specifically, who doesn’t necessarily want to build it out themselves.
Your Prize Garden
Expert gardeners who have built up beautiful landscaping or a vegetable garden should feature them! Prospective home buyers who want to go all-in on being homeowners will appreciate the lush vegetation, the structured vegetable and herb garden situation, and the native perennials that practically take care of themselves. Share a list of your local garden resources or landscapers that you recommend to help them maintain it.

Many home buyers want something unique that they can call their own and brag about. Play up those details in your listing and watch the fellow architectural appreciators appear.
