3. Size and Layout
- The square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and overall layout play an essential role in determining worth.

5. Amenities and Features
- Special features such as a pool, modern kitchen, energy-efficient systems, or luxury finishes can boost value.
6. Market Conditions
- Supply and demand dynamics, interest rates, and overall economic health influence real estate values.
