Natural wood and stone :<\/strong> Natural wood and stone features are popular today, even those made of faux materials like vinyl. \u201cThis design trend can make an outdated home look modern on the exterior, causing more buyers to stop and schedule a showing,\u201d the RISMedia article notes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. Privacy :<\/strong> Home owners love outdoor space but they also like their privacy. Make the outdoor space more private. Place walls around the pergola, enclose a gazebo, or use tall shrubbery to create more backyard privacy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. Lighting :<\/strong> Good outdoor lighting helps make a property appear more inviting and improves the security. Make sure there are plenty of lights on the backyard or deck. Solar lighting can be an inexpensive way to add more lights, if the wiring isn\u2019t in place. \u201cA well-lit deck lends itself to summer barbecues and parties,\u201d the article notes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. Low-maintenance landscaping :<\/strong> Buyers tend to be drawn to low maintenance. Try using perennials, which can add a splash of color, but don\u2019t need to be replanted every year. Also, mulch and rock can help keep weeds away while also enhancing the space\u2019s look. Stone walkways and decorative items can further spruce up a lawn, without adding in extra maintenance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>5. Fire pits and fireplaces :<\/strong> A fire pit can provide an outdoor spot for easy entertaining. Stage it with chairs all around and ready for making s\u2019mores.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>6. Outdoor structures :<\/strong> To enhance a backyard, a gazebo or pergola can go a long way to help making the space more inviting. \u201cThese outdoor structures boost the function, and therefore increase your home\u2019s value,\u201d the article notes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/realtormag.realtor.org\/daily-news\/2016\/05\/11\/6-outdoor-trends-buyers-love\" target=\"_blank\">6 Outdoor Trends Buyers Love <\/a>by RealtorMag<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home owners crave outdoor spaces for gathering and entertaining, which is why it&#8217;s important to highlight your listings\u2019 outdoor spaces.
