One of the main factors that prospective buyers look at when buying a house is the landscape. It can either encourage the buyer to look at the house or make them want to move onto the next one. Realtors estimate that 95 percent of home shoppers will not even get out of their car if the house lacks curb appeal. With a sophisticated landscape design, prospective buyers are more likely to respond positively.

What Components of Landscaping Are important When Trying To Sell a House?

Including trees as part of your landscape is essential. Not only does it affect your property value, but it is also beneficial for the environment since it contributes towards carbon dioxide reduction. During the summer season, trees can help keep your house cooler by providing shade.

In order to add value to your property, the trees on your lawn should look healthy. You would mostly certainly not want to have an unkempt-looking garden while your neighbor’s landscape looks like an enchanted garden.

Other factors that increase the appeal of your house include native planting, outdoor lighting, and terraces. Native plantings are a low-cost solution to beautifying your landscape. Native plantings also contribute to saving wildlife because they provide a natural habitat for birds and butterflies. Outdoor lighting is a great landscaping essential. It discourages intruders, adds security, and reduces burglaries. If done correctly, terraces can boost curb appeal and add value to your property. The right landscaping may increase the value of a home by about 25%. There is more to landscaping than just adding flowers and bushes on your lawn. Prospective buyers also look at the design of the landscape.

Landscaping is one home improvements that can not only add value to your property right away, but increases your home value over time. Therefore, a well-landscaped house has a price advantage over a house with no landscaping. Sometimes, the landscape is the main reason for an inquire of purchase. On the other hand, it can at times reduce the value of the land.

Are We Biased Because We Are Landscapers?

We decided to ask real estate agent, Medelise Reifsteck, her thoughts on the subject. Medelise explains that landscaping is a very important feature to a houses curb appeal. Curb appeal directly impacts perceived value and the amount of interest a home will get. Price is the single most important factor when selling a house. That being said, price is determined in part on landscaping. An attractive curb side will transfer in most cases to a higher price than a home with no landscaping or a yard overgrown and unkept. In general, the more appealing and attractive the yard and landscaping the more likely you are to have interest and get a better price. Some things to keep in mind. Keeping it simple is important. Easy maintenance has a place in today's busy families. They want a nice yard but also do not want be a slave to it.
