In my experience home buyers prefer to have a quiet and peaceful home. In the case that is listed above, it is essential to walk the front and back yard and spend time at the home during prime driving times. Noise pollution is never a positive selling point. Is there a fence on the property that gives privacy? Are there benefits form one property to the other in terms on interior improvements, updating, mature landscaping? These factors will also weigh in on the pricing of each property. For the most part, most buyers would prefer to choose the house that is not the closest to the freeway and may have more privacy. - Tue Jun 23 2009, 15:58
