Flat, usable land
The usefulness of the land can matter as much as its size. Buyers often respond to how the lot supports the property as a whole.

Valley luxury, built around the lot
In Encino, lot usability can be as important as the house itself.
By Rick Ojeda, RealtorThe whole property
How the home meets the yard.
Larger lots, flat usable land, pools, outdoor entertaining areas, and the relationship between the home and the yard can have a major influence on how buyers respond to a property.
What buyers are evaluating
Pools and entertaining areas
Pools and outdoor entertaining areas are part of the evaluation, as is their relationship to the home.
Finished or ready to improve
Renovation potential matters because buyers may be comparing a finished home with a property that offers the opportunity to reposition or improve.
The Encino lens
I evaluate the house and lot as one property. The connection between interior space, usable land, the pool, and outdoor areas can shape the entire response.
