Popular Amongst Buyers

The pandemic has changed what buyers value the most when looking for properties to buy. In today's market, buyers are looking to purchase a property with outdoor space that will allow them to entertain friends and family. Homes situated on a large lot tend to sell for a higher amount than those with very little outdoor space. According to the National Association of Realtors, forty-eight percent of realtors say that the combination of a porch and patio is what most people desire in a home. A patio with an outdoor kitchen has always been popular but desirability has increased even more due to the restrictions that have been in place by the pandemic. Sellers, if you are looking to encourage higher bids on your property, then you might want to consider installing a patio with an outdoor kitchen. Depending on the size and material used, accentuating the backyard could cost anywhere from $10,000 - $20,000. Additionally, buyers in the market for expensive homes tend to be attracted to a patio with an outdoor kitchen, along with a built-in grill, and fireplace. So, to capture the interest of those high bidding buyers, then adding these features to spruce up the outdoor space is a plus.
