Hi Sepabuyer. Great question! However, it's difficult to answer as a general proposition. On one hand, a two acre property is certainly appealing to many buyers looking for a large country estate (or just room for their kids to run around:). However, there certainly is a sector of the market that will appreciate being "in town", close to shopping, etc. and won't want to maintain two acres!
As far as the better resale potential for each, your Realtor should be able to give you the BEST answer based upon the SPECIFIC properties you're considering. Indeed, upgrades in ANY home (for example, granite or other stone or upgraded countertops in the kitchen and bath, hard wood floors, tiled bathrooms, etc.) will effect the resale value -- not to mention the speeed at which a sale would occur. This is yet ANOTHER reason why homebuyers NEED the resources and expertise that only an experienced full-time real estate professional familiar with the marketplace can provide.
If you haven't yet hired a Buyer's Agent for yourself (which, by the way, would cost you NOTHING since all Realtor commissions are typically paid for by the seller), I would encourage you to interview 2-3 Realtors and choose one who you believe is honest, experienced and is truly committed to working in YOUR best interest. In addition, you need to find someone who is a skilled negotiator (to work to get you the most house for the money)!
