Realtors: Do you find “Value/Curb Appeal” in landscape lighting when showing a home? (not the cheap solar)
backhome101 asked:
I’ve had a Home Staging company ask if we would set up lighting in the fronts of homes for customers who are selling their homes. I was wondering if the realty community had any opinions on the value of quality landscape lighting. I’m not talking the store bought cheap fixtures – either solar or plastic light kits, but metal low voltage lights for the sidewalks, lighting for pillars and brick/stone face, along with any trees etc.

I am not a realtor but have bought and sold multiple homes. It doesn’t really add much to me. I think the money could be spend better else where. [who] treday25
there is an axiom in real estate concerning landscaping which is
landscaping will not add to the value of the home but it will make it
more visually appealing and make people want to look inside. [who] quietgiant
yeah landscape lighting isnt really a big selling point, and does not add any kind of value to the home, some people actually dislike wasting electricity to such things as a bush or a flower [who] brendana1221
