Home › Glossary › House
A house is one of the most sought-after dwelling types in Australia because it typically includes land ownership, outdoor space and greater flexibility for renovations or extensions. Unlike units, townhouses or duplexes, a house does not share walls or common property with neighbouring residences, which gives owners more control and fewer shared obligations. The value of a house is heavily influenced by land size, zoning, location, condition and future development potential. Many buyers prioritise houses for family living, long-term growth prospects and lifestyle benefits such as gardens, outdoor entertaining areas and privacy. Houses often lead the market in capital growth because land appreciates faster than buildings. When selling a house, presentation, street appeal and a strong marketing strategy can significantly impact buyer interest and final sale price. A skilled agent understands local buyer demand, leverages suburb trends and positions your home effectively to attract serious purchasers.
You decide to sell your three-bedroom house on a 700-square-metre block in a family-friendly suburb. Your agent recommends improving curb appeal with fresh landscaping, repainting the front door and updating lighting to create a strong first impression. During the first open home, buyers comment on the spacious backyard, potential for a future extension and the quiet street location. Over the next week, several families request contracts and ask questions about schools, parks and renovation possibilities. Two buyers begin competing, creating upward pressure on price. After skilled negotiation, your agent secures an offer significantly above market expectations, driven by the property’s land value and family appeal.
