| Allowing Pets Has a Positive Effect on Condo Prices |
According to Charles Carter, Ph.D, "allowing pets in condos has a positive effect on condominium prices in the South Florida condo market."
Carter and Dr. Marcus T. Allen made this conclusion based on their statistical analysis of the price effects of pet restrictions using a sizable sample of condominium transactions from the Fort Lauderdale, Florida metropolitan area. Their results were presented to the American Real Estate Society (ARES) conference in Monterey, California a year ago.
The professors concluded, "To the extent that these results support the contentions of anti-restriction activists, condominium developers and owner associations might well consider changing existing prohibitions against certain types of pets (or maintaining the status quo in the absence of such restrictions) in pursuit of enhanced property values."
