Are Vegetable Gardens The New Granite Counter Tops?! A "Must Have?"

I havea client who absolutely has to have slab granite counter tops in the kitchen. Why not? They are both beautiful and functional. But raised vegetable gardens? Are they becoming the new "Must Have?"

As a real estate agent in Vancouver Washington, I have seen it all. I have worked with buyers who don't like to mow the lawn and wouldn't look at any home on a lot bigger than 6,000 sq. feet. And buyers who wanted to live in the country and wouldn't consider anything on less than an acre. Or folks who are downsizing and wanting a home that is not larger than 1200 sq.feet. and finally, families who are upsizing and need a home in the 4000 sq. foot range. But recently I have run across an interesting new trend with home buyers.

Recently, I have had several buyers who have added vegetable gardens to their must have list! Why not? Vegetable gardens are both beautiful and functional and buyers are recognizing the value. I think that well kept raised gardens might become a selling feature that could possible help a home sell faster.

I currently have a deal in escrow with a home that has two raised gardens in the back yard that are loaded with fresh home grown veggies. Unfortunately, by time we close, most of the crop will have already been eaten in tasty salads!
