I think this depends on the location, but I find that the one story is the better of the two.

One level living will retain better value and appeal to a larger audience. The one story has a larger footprint, but minimal stairs. The older generation will always be looking for this style of home.

Neither style is automatically better. Ranch homes often appeal to a wider buyer pool because they are easier for aging buyers or people with mobility concerns. Two-story homes may offer more space for the price and are popular with families. The best resale potential depends on the neighborhood and local buyer demand.
