Selling Your House? Mow Your Lawn!
By Jan Nicholas, Fri Dec 9th
A property that has a well manicured has one of the bestchances at showing pride in ownership than any other outdoortechnique. For one thing, there is a large upswing in the priority thathomeowners place in their outdoor living spaces. Therefore, the landscaping of your front yard (especially) aswell as that of your back yard should look its very best whenit’s selling time. Your landscaping will make a hugecontribution to the resale value of your home, so make sure thatit’s doing its best to help you out.
In fact, studies have shown that when the landscaping of a homeis in excellent condition, it can sell for about 4 to 5 percenthigher, while homes with landscaping in very poor condition cansell for 8 to 10 percent less. That’s a huge difference in theoverall selling price of your home. You might be wondering exactly how much time you should dedicateto sprucing up the landscape of your property. How much time andmoney is worth it for your sale? Even if you put a minimal amount of money, effort, and time into your landscaping, it will help you in selling your home, andperhaps even getting a boost in the selling price. Every effortyou make will help. However,
don’t overdo it. Remember that it’s not a sellingfeature; it’s only something to help the overall appeal of yourproperty, so that the other selling features will be betterappreciated. You should keep your mowed so that it is even, and neatlyshort. Keep it well weeded, as these will only appear asblemishes to your landscaping. Make sure to use a weed eater todo the edges, as this gives your work a superior finish touch. If there are any “bald” patches in your lawn, buy a small bag ofseed and care for the spot, filling it in. This is especiallyimportant if you have a dog who digs or who leaves “pet damage”where s/he does his or her business. After you fill in the dead spots that your dog has left, makesure to water the areas after your dog “waters,” to prevent newdead patches from forming. Watering the areas will dilute theurine to stop it from burning the grass. This effort makes an immeasurable difference in the overallneatness of the house, and the impression that it will leavepotential buyers.
