It seems that to add any value to a home now a day every added feature makes a difference. It is very expensive to have professional landscaping done, so it may be well-worth the investment to look for a home with this extra necessity.

One of us says that it's not that important. If we make it great on the inside, they won't care if we have pretty flowers and new mulch. The other one thinks that if the landscaping is not fairly updated (not spectacular, but nice mulch and a few flowers) that people will drive by and not want to come inside. What do you think? Is it that important? Also, are there any sites that tell you how much different improvements that you make to your house will increase it's value?what you say .-= Daniel Corporate Housing´s last blog ..<a href="http://demanagement.com/stylish-and-affordable-rental-homes.html" rel="nofollow">Stylish and affordable rental homes</a> =-.

I once bought a property and saved over 5 grand, just because the yard was in a mess. It’s very true that when buying a property, if the back yard is in a mess, often you can get a great deal.

Owner appeared to have over-fertilized, then not watered the yard. It was burnt to a crisp and stood out like a sore thumb in this luxury neighborhood. Then we get inside and it is one of the most immaculately staged and decorated homes I've been in. Crystal clean with beautiful appointments everywhere. My buyers could not get past the front yard. To each his own, but in this particular instance, the yard killed the deal - they bought a home with modest landscaping - nothing to die for - but they didn't want the hassle of the "dead yard," as they called it. <a href="http://www.augustalistingexpert.com" rel="nofollow">Augusta GA Homes</a> Navy Chief, Navy Pride Joe Loomer (USN Ret.)

San Diego has recently implemented water restrictions due to severe drought conditions. We're limited to watering lawns a maximum of 3 times per week for up to 10 minutes per watering station. Some homes that had been landscaped with tropical foliage are now looking very sparse as the greenery turns brown and in many cases dies all together. This may be an unusual circumstance, but you can never tell what will happen to landscaping. It is the home and the lot that's important. .-= Geoff@San Diego Real Estate´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.sdrealtypros.com/article/mpp-insured-san-diego-homes/" rel="nofollow">San Diego Home Buyers Insurance</a> =-.
