SNOOZE YOU LOSE! Backyard Improvement Wait 20 Years?

Real Estate Agent with HomeSmart Real Estate BR632450000

SNOOZE YOU LOSE in Real Estate! Are you waiting for the right time to improve your backyard? WAIT! It has been 20 years you have been talking about putting in that patio, bbq and outside kitchen along with outside TV and winding path to a fountain? It sounds NICE! When you bought your home you had these GREAT IDEAS on what would follow. Well, WHAT are you waiting for? It may be a long wait similar to a RIP VAN WINKLE snooze/nap. SNOOZE YOU LOSE! Rip was the man author Washington Irving wrote about that had napped for 20 years in the Catskill Mountains and the world had changed so much after his long snooze.

You may be snoozing also, just dreaming of your multiple projects for your perfect backyard to enjoy after work or when you retire. Hey if you are like Rip Van Winkle you ARE going to be retired and NEVER get to enjoy your backyard.  If you DON'T START YOU  ARE NEVER GOING TO GET ANYWHERE! 

Some of the best backyard ideas for improvements

1. Deck or Covered Patio

2. Pool

3. Hot Tub

4. Outside Kitchen

5. Path with a destination and a bench or a fountain

6. Garden and/or Vegetable Garden

7. Hammock and Outside TV

10. Hummingbird feeders and sitting nook

11. Pavers and/or no maintenance turf

12. Outside lighting and sound system

So if you are ready to make that next step but are thinking about waiting – maybe you should look at your options. If you do one of these upgrades you will be happy and your home will increase in value. If you don't do it and wait to "fix up" your backyard before you retire and sell the home, someone else is going to enjoy those improvements.

Exactly Endre Barath, Jr. fix up the backyard so you can snooze in it yourself and not for the next owner. ALTHOUGH for those that just cannot do it themselves I will find home buyers a home with a READY TO GO backyard.

Hi Bo Zivak thanks for stopping by and your comments. You have some beautiful backyards in Nashville I am sure. I do here the first year in a new home with a dirt backyard, go through the 4 seasons and watch where the sun is at different times of the day in each season to figure out where you want to plant, build and sit in the backyard.
