The backyard is also often overlooked as a crucial part of your home, especially from a buyer’s point of view. This is where the family will play with pets or their children, have barbecues, entertain friends or family members, and much more. Therefore, creating an oasis in your backyard that will stun each prospective buyer to see it is the best way to not only add more value to your home, but to sell your home as fast as possible as well. These days, there are multiple trends that buyers might be looking for when it comes to the backyard of their dreams. You, as the seller, will want to incorporate these as much as possible and use them to your advantage to get your home’s value through the roof and off your hands as fast as possible.
MORE TREES
Over time, trees become beautiful pieces of art that really tie a backyard together. If you’re looking to add a few before you sell your home, do so right away. Get any type that is about 8 inches tall and one- to two-inches in diameter that will sit within a pot that is 15 gallons in size, to ensure that in three to five years the trees will be in full effect.
SMALLER LAWN
This may surprise you, considering most people see a large, healthy, green lawn in their mind when they picture the perfect backyard, but these days a smaller lawn is the trend. Installing deep planting beds in the right places with wide borders and perhaps even some shrubs, for instance, is a good way to ensure that, though the lawn may be smaller, the backyard feels neither empty nor small.
