The most under rated and forgotten part of home staging

   This is all about the most under rated most over looked and forgotten part of home staging. Is it accent rugs, pillows on the couches, lamps on the end tables, drapes or curtains? If you think it is any of these things you are wrong, while they can all be very important to the staging of a home, there is no other part of home staging that is more over looked and forgotten than the proper care and maintenance of a homes lawn and landscaping.

   You might be wondering what is so important about the lawn and landscaping being properly cared for and maintained? Simple it is the first thing about a home a perspective buyer will see. It can make or break even getting someone to step foot inside the home let alone make a respectable offer. Like the old saying goes "The First impression is the most Important impression". If the outside of the home is "dumpy" or uncared for the interior of the home is percieved to be that same way.

   Another thing that makes the proper care and maintenance of the lawn and landscaping so important is that in many cases the proper care and maintenance of the lawn along with investing as little as $1,000 into the landscape of the home can add as much as $10,000 to the value of the home. With values of homes going down like that have in these last few years it is time we start doing everything we can to start bringing them back up where they were several years ago.

Hey Chris,

Kathy thank you for the added stat :-D and you are totally correct that is HUGE, especially if you figure updating the landscaping of a 300,000 that is like adding $33,000 to the homes value for just a few thousand or less. (I base my $10,000 increase on a 100,000 because that is an average to lowball estimate, and I don't want people to think I am falsely advertising or anything like that)

Your absolutely right, while the inside is important, curb appeal is what makes them want to stop and see what the inside looks like.  You gotta get them inside, and that happens from the curb!

Cindy yes, the inside is very important as well. The inside and outside go together when you are trying to sell your home big time... If they don't like the outside they may never see the inside, if they don't like the inside they may never truely get to enjoy the outside.
