If you’re in the market to sell your home in Wilmington or think you might be in the next few years, one of the top ways to attract more buyers is by sprucing up your home’s outdoor features. Not only will certain outdoor features enhance your curb appeal, but they might also help you increase the value of your home. Find out what outdoor features will have buyers lining up at your door.
The Top 4 Outdoor Features You Need:
1. Outdoor Structures
Whether your backyard is large or small, an outdoor structure can do wonders for attracting buyers. An outdoor feature can include decks, patios, swimming pools, storage sheds, gazebos, pergolas, shops, or even a custom dog house. If you have the room, an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a smart addition. (Think garage apartment or a tiny house in the back.)These outdoor features can maximize your home’s value and use of space.
2. Porch Roofs and Covered Areas
It’s normal to experience rainy weather year-round in Wilmington. And when it is not raining, the sun can be excruciatingly hot in the summer. In order to get the most use out of an outdoor living space, a covering is a requirement. Investing in a covering like a large patio umbrella, attached or detached porch roof, or a sunshade or awning can give your outdoor living area more use year round.
3. Proper Landscaping & Landscape Lighting
If your yard needs a bit of work, proper landscape maintenance can be one of the top outdoor features that will attract buyers. If necessary, consult with a landscaper to give your yard a makeover. Once your landscaping is in order, invest in some landscape lighting so the gorgeous results can be seen at night. Having an illuminated yard can help you attract buyers at all hours.
4. Other Outdoor Lighting Options
Installing in patio or deck lighting, pathway lighting, or even garden lighting will accentuate your home’s best features. If you invested in any outdoor structures like a pool or hot tub, make sure to light them as well. By adding nighttime function to your best outdoor living spaces, your buyers will be able to see their potential life in the home unfold before their eyes. Outdoor lighting in Wilmington is the perfect way to give your outdoor living space life at night with the added bonus of extra home security.
