While this incarnation doesn’t deal with a particular source of view admirers and their content, there’s definitely a handful of places to seek out dedicatedviews through the window.And those places can be quite numerous. One of the original view appreciation groupson Facebookhas a community of 2.1 million members. So, yeah, it’s a big deal.

But, what’s the big deal? It’s just a view, right?Blasphemy.A view providessomethingthat both the romantic as well as the pragmatic can certainly get behind. And that is… well… a view. But in one sense, it’s pleasant aesthetics and in another, it’s higher property value.

Blasphemy.
A view providessomethingthat both the romantic as well as the pragmatic can certainly get behind. And that is… well… a view. But in one sense, it’s pleasant aesthetics and in another, it’s higher property value.
In the most general sense, having a visuallyappealing environmentmeans having a visually obvious bump in property value.Potential buyers might have sentimental or emotional ties with certain areas or natural archetypes that might just sway them into buying it without needing to actuallysellit to them. As such, it can justify the increased price tag.

Potential buyers might have sentimental or emotional ties with certain areas or natural archetypes that might just sway them into buying it without needing to actuallysellit to them. As such, it can justify the increased price tag.
However, a view does not equal another view and views can differ wildly. Among them, the likes of coastal properties, hillside homes and houses overlooking bodies of water (e.g. lakes or rivers) are often in high demand. If not for the beauty, then for the peace and quiet that often comes with it. And since there aren’t that many properties with such… properties, then the price grows exponentially higher.
Today’s trends suggest that the most sought out properties are mostlynatural landscapes, such as sea views, mountain ranges, and park or green spaces. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to some city skylines are just as good. Just imagine, tall skyscrapers and urban aesthetics showing off the achievements of human civilization, lighting up the night sky (and creating light pollution along the way). Glorious.
So, how much in demand are views among people? The PurpleBricks estate agencysuggeststhat 4 of 5 people (82%) would be willing to throw in an extra $88,000 for a property that would include a view. So, long story short, a view is worth nearly $90K.But we’re not done yet.For those who don’t see money as an obstacle, 1 in 10 of them would gladly pay upwards of $250,000 for a dream view. That’s actually enough to buy a proper home in some states.

And there’s also a gender bias involved in it. On average, men were willing to spend around $95,100 for a property with a dream view whereas women maxed out at nearly $89,000. So, an average of $6,000 difference.The lowest folks went with paying extra for a view roughly $6,300 (15% of potential buyers) and nearly a fifth (18%) said they wouldn’t pay anything extra for it.

Ultimately, it boils down to personal choice. While houses are more than just bricks and mortar with a view, each sees something for themselves in it—whether it’s the tranquility of the solitude of a location, or the ability to see the waves crash in the distance. The view is a personal thing, and so there is no objective number one could place on the price tag. It’s the buyer who determines how much all of this is worth to them. But in most cases, it’s worth a lot.
