Yesterday when I posted a sneak peek of listing I had a comment about what the front of the house faced. Well in 9 out 10 cases (maybe more) the "front" of the house is NOT what you see when you drive up the driveway. And when MLS's "insist" on the view from the street sometimes it's just NOT what you want the main photo to see. Our local MLS however understands the nature of the beast and doesn't require the street view to be the main photo.
This is the street view of our newest listing. And while it's not awful to pull up to down the driveway it's still not the "best side" to attract buyers.
This on the other hand... is what you see if you boat by the house from the lake. And it's the porch where you sit out and enjoy the view of the lake and watch the otters swim and the fish jump. It's a great place to have your morning coffee and read the paper. This is what makes buyers want to come and take look... So yes, it's the "front" door facing away from the street.
Real estate is regional and some folks might think that's backwards, but it works for us.
