I look at it from a resident's point of view, the perspective of that new buyer's next door neighbor who lives here all year 'round. What would I like to see happen to the house next door, for the next year?
I'd like to see it legally occupied by someone or a couple someones who respect the property and respect the neighborhood. Barring that, I'd like the neighbor to give me permission to keep my car parked in their carport when I'm not driving it, since right now it bakes in the sun. Plus, having a vehicle on the property gives the impression that the property is occupied. That makes it safer, and less likely to be broken in to, squatted, or otherwise abused.
