Do Water Features Add Home Value
The calming effects you can get from a waterfall, the relaxing ripples of a koi pond, or the gentle trickle of a fountain. Water features are a beautiful, and tranquil way to add appeal and peace to your home’s backyard or your front yard curb appeal.
However, you may be shocked to learn how they can often impact your home’s resale value.
Curb appeal
A water feature in the front yard will increase the overall package of a home’s curb appeal if it is done properly and looks appealing. Of course, curb appeal is crucial for buyers with or without a water feature; but, one benefit a water feature offers is a nice calming, relaxing sound. So it will add both visual and auditory value to your home’s curb appeal.
Adding a water feature will bring an appealing, multisensory experience to a home that makes it stand out from your neighbors, in addition to creating a peaceful, homey feeling for buyers as they take a tour of your home. Viewed through that alone, a water feature could prove to be the icing on the cake for any interested buyers.
Maintenance concerns
However, water features are not all fun and games. Most will need some kind of maintenance and upkeep that will often soon outweigh the aforementioned benefits.
Where you place your water feature does make a huge difference, too. It must be in a location where it is not only visible but easy to maintain. It is a waste to spend money on a water feature that no one appreciates, or, is difficult to get to when it comes to maintenance.
