Pets can potentially affect property values in a few ways. While some homebuyers may see properties with evidence of pets (like pet odors, stains, or damage) as less desirable and may offer lower bids, other buyers who are pet owners themselves may see homes with pet-friendly features, like fenced yards or built-in pet areas, as more attractive and may be willing to pay more. Ultimately, the impact of pets on property values can vary depending on the preferences of potential buyers in a particular market.
