This!
Put yourself in the shoes of a burglar, what's easier? sneaking between 2 houses on a very quiet street and breaking in through a side door/window; or breaking into a ground floor apartment where there's a high density of people living and a higher likelihood of someone seeing you?
I think it's often a irrational fear, but a fear none the less that does someone influence ease of sale.
I've noticed far more concern about ground floor apartments in Calgary than I do in Vancouver. Selling townhouses in DT Vancouver is a breeze, people love them.
I helped a single female buyer buy a ground floor condo in Marda Loop this week; so I guess that explains my opinion.
