The availability of fiber service increases home resale value: homeowners with broadband fiber service can expect their property values to increase by up to 3.1%. Fiber service availability also attracts more potential buyers.
According to an article from the Fiber to the Home Council, fiber Internet availability can have the same impact as if a homeowner had added a fireplace, or a half bath.

Apartment owners will find that fiber availability can help attract new tenants.
