The Importance of Outdoor Spaces—Especially as the Weather Warms Up
The value of outdoor spaces has surged in recent years,especially following the pandemic as homeowners seek more functional, enjoyable areas to relax, entertain and connect with nature. While outdoor living has always held appeal, it’s now seen as a vital extension of the home—and a smart investment.
According to a Fall 2021 Home Light survey, real estate agents ranked outdoor space as the third most important feature for homebuyers. In fact, top agents estimated that a new patio costing $3,269 could increase value by $3,563--a 109% return on investment (ROI).
From planting flowers near the front door to upgrading lighting or installing a new mailbox, every improvement adds charm, comfort and value to your home.
The Benefits of Outdoor Living Spaces:
1. Expand Your Living Area
Beautifully designed gardens and patios act as functional extensions of your indoor space.These areas offer seamless flow between inside and out, creating a perfect setting for relaxation and entertainment.
2. Design With Purpose
Adding features like outdoor kitchens, cozy lounge areas or fire pits can completely transform your backyard into a multi-use space for dining, entertaining or unwinding.
3. One of the Most Affordable Home Improvement Projects
Compared to kitchen or bathroom remodels, creating or improving an outdoor living area can be a more budget-friendly way to add value and enjoyment to your home.
4. Increases Resale Value
Well-designed and maintained outdoor features can offer a strong return on investment (ROI) when it comes to selling time. Patios, decks, outdoor kitchens, fire pits and pergolas all offer a strong return on investment.
5. Endless Entertainment Possibilities
Hosting gatherings, outdoor kitchens & bars, relaxation & recreation, outdoor movie nights, sound systems, water features and comfortable outdoor spaces to relax.
6. Can Showcase full Creativity
Creativity can come into play in the choice of plants, the layout of the garden, the materials used for hardscaping and even the types of sating arrangements you make.
