These days it isn’t just the inside of your home that’s going to affect how it sells. If you really want to get your property selling you need to consider the outside, particularly in the form of an outdoor entertainment area. But how much does an outdoor entertainment area add to your property’s value and how does it work?
Recent estimates have suggested that when it comes to getting an improved resale value on your home, you really need to consider
getting an up-to-date outdoor entertainment area, including a deck space and awning. Along with other renovations and additions an outdoor entertainment area could add as much as 40% to your home’s present value. But why exactly is an outdoor entertainment area such a selling point?
An outdoor entertainment area, particularly one covered by an awning and featuring a sunroof to allow for light, allows a homeowner to make use of their property all year round. By providing a space to relax in comfort while still enjoying the great outdoors you’re giving people the best of both worlds. During the warmer months you can enjoy the nice feeling of warm sun on your skin while lying back in a comfortable chair in a beautiful space. However as the weather cools, insulated awnings will ensure your space maintains warmth and even transfers some of that warmth into the home (cutting electricity bills and their cost in one fell swoop!)
People are even going so far as to add kitchens, bars and outdoor workspaces to their outdoor entertainment areas so that they can spend even more time in the space. It’s not uncommon for dinner to be cooked and served outside on a warm summer night thanks to such spaces. A strong wifi connection or portable modem means you can even work from home whilst enjoying our outdoor space at the same time.
Ignoring the importance of an outdoor entertainment area could seriously hurt your home’s value. It adds so much to the potential and capacity of your home. If you really want to get the best price you can you need to make sure your outdoor area is up-to-the-minute and is well thought out. Make sure you invest in the right materials for your area (are you need a beach? Aluminium is for you!) and that you get the appropriate approvals to build your new area.
