If you already had a picture of a “dream home” in mind when you
first pooled your resources together, consider that future home buyers are the
same. Among the biggest factors in their purchase is the background of the said
dream home—the property’s overall outward appearance, the landscaping, the
interiors—all the works. A number of the buyers enter the housing market with
their eyes open for specific features and will start combing through listings
of houses based on those.
What eye-catching—meaning, profitable—features can serve as
options to raise your home’s asking price? Beyond the solid architectural
elements, look to the element of water. Water symbolizes new life, refreshment,
and revitalization of one’s soul, and as such, adding outdoor water features in your home can not only spruce up your property but also improve
its value.
Swimming pools
Few things will excite a homeowner more than having their own
pool, where they can relax, exercise, or splash around in the summer with their
family. A pool is an investment for all seasons, but if you do decide on a
swimming pool as a key outdoor water feature for your home, do compare the
benefits of getting an in-ground concrete pool versus a fiberglass or a vinyl pool.
Moreover, make sure that you address any problems with pumping and filtering
water, and make arrangements so that your future homeowners can easily maintain
their pool.
Outdoor fountains
You might think that an outdoor fountain will only appeal to
homeowners looking for touches of luxury. On the contrary, however, a beautiful
outdoor fountain can brighten up a garden of any shape and size. You can choose
from a variety of fountains available from suppliers—be it the wall, tiered, or
waterfall type—to enhance the sprawling lawn or the compact garden in your
property.
Miniature natural hubs
Consider that a homebuyer might also want to keep pets or
cultivate natural life within the home. Your property’s living areas might be
perfect for animals, as well as plant life, to flourish. Find reputable
contractors who can build the future homeowners fish ponds for koi and turtles,
or even an outdoor bird bath.
Reflection pools
You might have seen this type of pool—typically characterized by
its shallow, still water—at solemn places such as monuments, memorials, and
state buildings. The tranquil water form is a unique one and can help inspire everyday
homeowners to stop and pause about the important things in a way way that other
outdoor features can’t.
Eco-friendly facilities
The last thing that you can appeal to when selling your property
is a homeowner’s sense of paying it forward and living in an eco-friendly
environment. Some fixtures that will increase your house’s “green” capital are
a rainwater catch or downspouts that can help water the home’s lawn. These will
appeal to a sensibility that has become popular, especially among millennials,
these days. Many of these first-time homebuyers are thinking not only of the
price of their houses but also how to make sustainability part of their regular
home life.
In the end, look no further than the outdoors to maximize a
house’s “homey” feel. It’s not only about aesthetics, but a sense of living
life to its fullest when you’re in your ‘safe place.’ Homebuyers are looking to
invest in dream homes where they can be in control, spend a lot of time, and be
witness to life’s ordinary, and yet special moments. That’s what truly captures the essence of the
old adage: “home is where the heart is.”
