suzana i | Will a flag lot (the lot is shaped like a flag) hurt the resale value of my home? |
the lot is shaped as a flag; it has a long driveway and then at the end of the driveway there is a larger lot where my house is. the driveway is shared with our neighbor. will there be a discount when i try to sell because of the shape of the lot and because it is not right on the street? |

It all depends how inconvenient it is to live there. Some people would take it as a plus to be so far away from the street.
They did this sort of thing in my area to some of the properties that had small bungalows on large rectangular lots. Divided the lot into two by a diagonal line from one outside corner to the inside corner on the other side. Leaving a really small frontage on the roadway. And because putting in access at the back of the property was not possible. After about the third property was done this way, it was suddenly halted. I think they were having trouble selling these properties for those same reasons you bring up.
I think that your best bet would be to make the property look good to young singles or just marrieds. They don't much care about yards anyway. |

No if the house is nice. Right now is a bad time to sell a house though. |

I don't think so. Lots of people like me don't want street frontage- litter, traffic noise, headlights, easy view for strangers to see if nobody is home...
Don't cut your positive feature short. |

No a flag lot does not hurt your value. Some people want to be off the street just as much as some want a corner. |

Probably not significantly, as long as there's a permanent easement for access to the property. |

it may hurt it a bit because a lot of times homes will sell based on street frontage. since all you have fronting on the street is a shared driveway, you dont have much contact with the street. it may end up hurting the price. |

Common Sense

Probably so, yes... |

It is all how you present it. Call it a 'secluded entrance' or a 'hidden house' and create an aire of seclusion to the yard.
Get the right agent, or make the ad yourself, and people will look at the good points you present.
Someone may even be looking for something like this.
I serve legal papers and people sometimes like to hide like that. |

I think you must have my old house! It didn't hurt my value as far as I know! I bought it in 1980 for about the same prices as a top of the line Corvette. I sold it in 2001 for about the price of a top of the line corvette! Sure prices over doubled, and it looked good to have that money in the bank for a short amount of time. In truth though, my house did a just a bit better than inflation. The odd lot and shared driveway didn't hurt me. |
