Buyers are looking for usable outdoor spaces so it may be beneficial for a seller to hire a landscaper to help create spaces in the backyard that are warm and inviting spaces to spend time with family and friends.
Buzz Feed has put out some do-it-yourself ideas. Some may be too kitschy for a house you are selling but here are my favorites: #1 hanging a chandelier in an outdoor area using solar lights. #3 Adding a diaper to the bottom of plants to help retain the moisture. #13 creating a splash pad is still a fun activity for the kids without the expense and liability of a pool. There are some great planting ideas. My favorite is #19, spray planters with glow-in-the-dark paint for instant outdoor evening lighting.
