Can Landscape Lighting Add Value To Your Home in Austin?
To put it simply: yes, landscape lighting in Austin can give your home's property value an enormous boost.
The longer answer is that Austin landscape lighting makes a strong first impression. That first impression is called "curb appeal" in the real estate business, and according to a study in the Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, curb appeal can make up as much as 7% of your home's value. That's one reason why the National Association of Realtors includes landscape lighting high on a list of the most impactful changes you can make to your home's exterior.
When you combine that with our energy-efficient, money-saving, eco-friendly LED lighting, then you can really make a splash with potential buyers!
Why is Curb Appeal Important?
Curb appeal is the word that sums up how your home is seen by any and all of the people who encounter it. It's the conclusion those who only ever see it from the outdoors come to and then carry with them until they are able to build onto that opinion - and unless you're welcoming strangers into your home all the time, many people don't get a chance for any impression but the first.
A well-maintained exterior helps outsiders recognize that you are invested in both your home and your neighborhood, leading to the idea that your home and neighborhood are, in fact, worth investing in. That helps raise your neighbors' property values too. Potential buyers tend to gravitate towards homes that have been cared for, that exude a sense of charm right from the get-go.
There is no one way that you can use outdoor lighting in Austin to boost your home's curb appeal. Some of our clients prefer the romantic intimacy provided by string lighting, while others swear by the way pathway lighting transforms their home's appeal. Some people love our Bonsai Color Series, which uses LED lighting in a range of RGB colors to showcase homeowners' personalities. Our Austin landscape lighting is endlessly customizable, so you'll be able to utilize it in a way that makes sense for you and your home.
