We're not saying you should build or add these things to your home just to help it sell. We're also not saying that it's necessarily these features that account for the price boost. However, listings that mention these features do sell for more—sometimes a lot more.

We analyzed 4.6 million home sales across the country completed in 2017 and 2018. Sale price and days on Zillow were separately regressed on controls for home size, age, ZIP code level average home values, MSA-level home value trends, the year and quarter in which the home sold, the broad price tier of that home within the MSA, and an indicator for the presence of each feature in the listing description.
