3 Ways to Boost Backyard Value
Whether creating your own summer sanctuary, or making exterior updates to increase your home value, our real estate team has compiled some of the best backyard tips.
1.) Highlight and extend your outdoor spaces.
Large or small, you can visibly broaden your backyard and outdoor areas with new lighting. For example, lighting up walkways and patio areas can enhance the space. Also, be sure to get rid of clutter in outdoor areas. Dispose of rusty old furniture, prune overgrown plants, trim trees, mow the lawn, and maintain pristine landscaping for a light, open, and airy ambiance.
2.) Optimize the value of a Florida pool home.
The quintessential dream home for many Americans includes a glistening pool. If you are looking to increase the sales value of your Florida home, then adding a pool could be a good investment.
If you already have a pool, consider refurbishing it with modern accent tiles or repainting it with the latest color trends for dark blue or sage green. Make a splash and up the value by installing an outdoor kitchen to take your pool and entertainment areas to the next level of Florida life.
3.) Enhance patio areas and add new features.
Importantly, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make big enhancements. For example, you can freshen up the entire space by pressure washing patios and entryways or by adding a fresh coat of paint to the exterior doors and window trims. Also, adding a few outdoor rugs, decorative pieces, or a flowing fountain could change the entire vibe.
If boosting your Florida home’s value is the goal, consider a deck addition. Whether wood or composite, you could regain a nice percentage of job costs in the resale value.
