If you want to improve the value of your Everton Park property, then it may help if you have a luscious, green front lawn.

A recent study conducted by Turf Australia found that Queenslanders were willing to pay up to 12 percent more for a property that has a lawn, over one that doesn’t. For Australia as a whole, it was found that buyers on average are willing to pay 18 percent more for a lawn.

While it’s important to keep in mind that the survey was carried out by a company that could be slightly bias; there’s no denying that a lawn and a garden can help add to the appeal and the value of a property.

For sellers this means that there is an opportunity to help add to the value of a home by making sure that the outside makes a good impression.

A lot of sellers tend to pay a lot of attention to the way the inside of a home looks (which is still very important) but it’s important to keep in mind that the first thing potential buyers see is the outside of a property, and this is what can draw them in to check out the inside of the property in the first place.

A lot of buyers do drive-bys of a home before enquiring about the property, so make sure your lawn and your garden looks neat, tidy and attractive to buyers.
