Are houses at the end of a culdesac actually more valuable? Is it a marginal price difference?

My last house was in the circle part of the cul de sac and I loved the pie shaped lot. I hate massive front yards and mine was smaller which gave me a huge backyard.

I think that for this reason ^ and also because there’s less traffic at the end of a cul de sac and everyone has to slow down to u-turn, there’s some increased desirability to being at the end of a cul de sac. Not sure how much value to place on that though.
