In today’s competitive Real Estate market, everyone wants to know what features really “sell” a home. As a professional Home Stager with Design Rewind(www.mydesignrewind.com), I’m witness to what appeals most to buyers.
With summer in full swing and most people outside enjoying longer days and beautiful weather, you can probably guess a popular feature for buyers: the Outdoor Living Area.
Gone are the days of a simple grill and table set. Today’s families crave an outdoor arrangement that rivals their interior living. Outdoor kitchens complete with grills, counters, fridges, sinks and more are very popular. Multiple seating arrangements and multi-level deck areas appeal to buyers’ desires for easy entertaining.
Outdoor fireplaces/firepits can create a welcoming gathering spot, and having at least one section of your Outdoor Living Area protectively covered from the elements ranks high on buyer’s wish lists. Sofa sets, easy chairs and decorative pillows in specially-treated outdoor fabrics bring the comfort of inside to your back yard. Accessories, water features, pizza ovens, and of course, the ever-popular pool, frequently complement these Outdoor Living Areas.
If you are considering selling your home, don’t overlook your backyard potential. The line between indoor and outdoor living is blurring in today’s relaxed lifestyle, so remember to showcase your exterior selling points. And as always, consider hiring a Professional Home Stager who can properly prepare your home for potential buyers.
