Changing the street adress of a property to increase value

[Jameson Sullivan]

Hye Guys Im in Tacoma Wa and there a house Im looking at, it has ALOT of issues so I havent made a decision yet but Im wondering about the effect changing the street address of the home in order to make it more attractive...

The house is on a busy corner but I still think it could work. But the current address of the house is on a known busy street, however the street that crosses it is known to have quieter areas. Even though i obviously cannot change the physical location of the house,  has anyone ever changed the address off the house in order to make it more attractive? Ive seen them do it on TV and of course that's not what its actually like but it made me think a little.

My plan would to be turn the current front of the house in to the back and fence off the yard making it less visible from that main street.

Any input helps.

Best Regards,

Yes, yes, we've done this before. In our situation, the mailbox and driveway we're on a different street then the address indicated. So we had the address changed to reflect the street where the mailbox and the driveway where. Because the mailbox and driveway were on the other street, the county had no issue with us making the change... Though it did take a couple months...
