In a shifting housing market, you need every advantage you can get. According to Vicki Potter, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Consultants "in a shifting housing market where buyers are choosing between multiple properties having an inviting outdoor living space with paver stones can tip the scales in your favor"
When pavers revive your curb appeal:
Data shows that 76% of agents felt curb appeal was the No. 1 thing you can do to make your home more appealing to buyers. “Curb appeal is very important for a home,” said Potter. “It's not just about the first impression” Adding A simple walkway adds character and functionality. “Pavers are a perfect option for that,” she says.
According to the NAR:
adding a walkway with a couple of planters and a handful of shrubs recoups more than 80% of the value.
Out of the 27% of Realtors who reported completing a landscape update before listing a property, 11% said it helped them seal the deal.
All in all, when you need to improve curb appeal or create an outdoor living space where there isn’t any, pavers are a practical option. They are more attractive than a rock path and help to create functional spaces with minimal materials. Just take a minimalist approach to make sure your project adds value.
When pavers improve the flow of indoor-outdoor living:
Flow is everything. “It’s all about how the buyer feels when they walk into the house and then how they feel when they’re going to the backyard and how it flows from a living room or dining room,” says Potter.
Even if your home has a patio currently, does it allow for adequate outdoor living? Is there enough space for a table that guests can gather around? What about lounge chairs? Or is your hardscape too big and awkwardly takes over the yard?
In that case, you may want to remove sections and revamp the portion you’re going to keep. “You want to have balance and a mix of hardscape and plants is one of the top ways to make sure that you have a competitive advantage when selling your home,” said Potter.
