Green Lawns Lead to Quicker Sales for More Money

Want a quick way to sell your home for more money?  Have a green lawn.  Sounds simple but it is true.  Brown lawns drive buyers away.  I knew of a home that was for sale for about a year that had very little interest.  No one calling on the sign, no showings, no interest.  About a month ago the owner decided to replace the lawn with new sod.  Within 2 weeks, they had a full price contract.  There were multiple calls from the sign and showings went up.  

Here is what it cost:

1 year of payments = $12,000
Price Decreases= $20,000
Total= -$32,000

Cost of new Sod = $600
Labor = $300
Total = $900

Want more proof here is an article that gives more information and how to make that lawn shine.  Green Lawns Sell Homes
