Yards are big deal for most home buyers

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Exit Strategy Realty

I would say a yard becomes a focal point for most buyers after bedrooms , kitchen, and bathrooms and now is the perfect time of year to walk around the house and inspect the yard . 

Corner lots typically have a large side yard and small back yard.

Some yards have large utility lines overhead 

Some yards are wooded and shady while others are open and sunny . 

Some yards have decks or patios areas to barbeque, fire pits , or fish ponds.

Some people look for yards that are fenced in for dogs , children and privacy while others are looking to put up children's swing sets or outdoor pool.

I love this time of year when people open their homes to garden walk tours . It's a good ideas to go on these tours to look for and get ideas before you purchase a new home

Hi Jack, 
In my area, there are a lot of homes built on steep hillsides, with almost no yard. It boggles my mind that people don't want any yard.  Each to their own.  Thanks for the post.

That's actually a good idea. It's a free way to get ideas for future lawnscaping. Nice picture too!

There really are in my area...but last year I had a client want a yard the size of a postage stamp.  (His words).  It was not easy but we found one.
