Windows are great for a lot of reasons. They allow us to take in light and, as a bonus, it warms our homes. They can be opened ever so slightly so that fresh air can enter in case your brother is gassy. Best of all, it provides us with a glimpse into what life is like outside the box of an apartment. Life we can’t help but admire.

But then you get lucky.

There are folks who struck gold and snapped a picture of a one-of-a-kind view through their window. And then they shared it with the rest of the world. And now you’re here, so scroll on and take a second to admire the view.

    While this incarnation doesn’t deal with a particular source of view admirers and their content, there’s definitely a handful of places to seek out dedicated views through the window.

    And those places can be quite numerous. One of the original view appreciation groups on Facebook has a community of 2.1 million members. So, yeah, it’s a big deal.

    But, what’s the big deal? It’s just a view, right?

    Blasphemy.

    A view provides something that both the romantic as well as the pragmatic can certainly get behind. And that is… well… a view. But in one sense, it’s pleasant aesthetics and in another, it’s higher property value.

    In the most general sense, having a visually appealing environment means having a visually obvious bump in property value.

    Potential buyers might have sentimental or emotional ties with certain areas or natural archetypes that might just sway them into buying it without needing to actually sell it to them. As such, it can justify the increased price tag.

    However, a view does not equal another view and views can differ wildly. Among them, the likes of coastal properties, hillside homes and houses overlooking bodies of water (e.g. lakes or rivers) are often in high demand. If not for the beauty, then for the peace and quiet that often comes with it. And since there aren’t that many properties with such… properties, then the price grows exponentially higher.

    Today’s trends suggest that the most sought out properties are mostly natural landscapes, such as sea views, mountain ranges, and park or green spaces. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to some city skylines are just as good. Just imagine, tall skyscrapers and urban aesthetics showing off the achievements of human civilization, lighting up the night sky (and creating light pollution along the way). Glorious.

    So, how much in demand are views among people? The PurpleBricks estate agency suggests that 4 of 5 people (82%) would be willing to throw in an extra $88,000 for a property that would include a view. So, long story short, a view is worth nearly $90K.

    But we’re not done yet.

    For those who don’t see money as an obstacle, 1 in 10 of them would gladly pay upwards of $250,000 for a dream view. That’s actually enough to buy a proper home in some states.

    And there’s also a gender bias involved in it. On average, men were willing to spend around $95,100 for a property with a dream view whereas women maxed out at nearly $89,000. So, an average of $6,000 difference.

    The lowest folks went with paying extra for a view roughly $6,300 (15% of potential buyers) and nearly a fifth (18%) said they wouldn’t pay anything extra for it.

    Ultimately, it boils down to personal choice. While houses are more than just bricks and mortar with a view, each sees something for themselves in it—whether it’s the tranquility of the solitude of a location, or the ability to see the waves crash in the distance. The view is a personal thing, and so there is no objective number one could place on the price tag. It’s the buyer who determines how much all of this is worth to them. But in most cases, it’s worth a lot.

    A French jet that tracked a Jet2 aircraft flying from Spain to the U.K.. It’s possible that that pilots of the Jet2 didn’t immediately respond to contact so the jet was sent up to shadow them as a precaution. Normally no one (apart from the pilots) notices and the airline gets a strongly worded reminder that they shouldn’t repeat it. Equally the various air forces around the world get to check their readiness so I guess it’s good that they respond.
