5 Outdoor Home Improvement Projects That Improve Property Values

 When it comes to buying or selling your home, curb appeal is everything. In 2021, according to the National Association of Home Builders, 75% of home buyers wanted front and rear porches, a deck, a patio , and exterior lighting. Read on for a closer look at five outdoor home improvement projects that will increase your property value.

 

1. Upgrade Your Outdoor Space

One of the biggest appeals when purchasing a home is having a private outdoor space, whether it's a tiny garden or a big backyard. A finished deck or patio is the perfect spot for sunbathing, grilling, and entertaining. Bonus points if there's a railing for added safety. For most purchasers, a deck or patio is an absolute must. Don't forget the fire pit!

2. Add Landscaping

A major turnoff for potential home buyers is an overgrown lawn and flowerbeds consumed by weeds. Keep your grass mowed and fertilized, and keep the weeding under control. Adding mulch, landscape pavers, shade trees, and low-maintenance plants will up the value of your property even more. When it comes to landscaping it's best to leave it to the pros. Give our team at Xscape 2 Nature a call and learn about how we can help you beautify your space.

3. Give Your Home a Facelift

 The front of your home is a buyer's first impression of the property. The front door and entryway add a significant amount of curb appeal. Build a porch and add decor so the exterior reflects the interior. Primp your home before putting it on the market. Replace damaged siding, or, if it's in good condition, a quick power wash will have it looking new again.

4. Replace Windows

If you live in an older home, chances are windows are drafty or wooden sills have begun to rot. Window damage can signal to buyers that there's a bigger problem. Hiring a team to fix caulking around frames or re-doing the glazing on panes can achieve a like-new look. Replacing single-pane windows can enhance a home's security and reduce energy costs. What's not to like? Replacing your windows is a great way to improve property value.


5. Install Outdoor Lighting

 Install outdoor lighting so your improvements are on display all night long! Solar lights define the borders of a walkway, patio, or garden bed. Hanging porch or patio lights ensure your parties don't have to end at dusk. Outdoor lights motion-sensor lights also deter burglars.
