From research provided by a number real estate agencies it is clear that a great lawn adds value to a home. So if you want to increase the worth of your house plant great turf. The research shows on average great turf (lawn) can mean an 8% increase over just an average lawn. This means on an average house of $500,000 this could mean an additional $40,000 to the value of your house.
If you want to improve the value then invest in a great lawn with the best turf.
When I drive past and see homes for sale that have weeds growing in the lawn or have tall grasses growing, I wonder what the seller or real estate agent is thinking. It is hard to see the potential in a property if you have to look past an eyesore to even see the home. Your figures about an 8% increase in value isn’t surprising to me. Thanks for the post.
Totally agree. People first impressions are generally the ones that last and if you see hard work or something that requires improvement it devalues the property straight away. Appreciate the comments :)
