If you’re selling your house, the real estate agent will take photos of the house from every angle, the only reason to be on street view is to look at the rest of the neighborhood.
I don’t believe it would lower the value of the property by any significant amount.
It also draws attention and could make you a target. Like, I disdain the whole “what do you have to hide” fallacy, but that’s the impression that’d be broadcast to anyone who sees your place on streetview if you were to blur it out.
In a country where housing is being sold at 150%+ of asking price this is completely irrelevant. So many paper millionaires are one step away from homelessness because property values are out of control.
The reason you need permits and licensed contractors to do most work on your home is because most people would rather have something convenient and cheap then care about property values. Take an inspector to a random open house in your neighborhood and ask them how much stuff they find wrong and use that to see if the owner will lower the price of the house. Then watch how quickly you get laughed out because they already have half a dozen offers over asking price, which is probably already inflated as is. The housing market in America is a joke since COVID.

Houses are meant for living. Fuck property value.

This is the first one I thought of, someone who may not even be interested in your property will look at that, and wonder what you’re hiding.
Then they get to my house and go " Ohhhh a shitty looking house, that’s what you were hiding"
