A Wood Fence Can Help Boost Home Value in Frederick County
When it comes to adding value to your home, few home improvement projects offer the return on investment (ROI) as a new wood fence. According to TheFinancialBlogger.com, a wood fence offers returns as high as 75%. That is comparable to a few of America’s most popular home improvement projects around: bathroom remodeling (72.5%) and kitchen remodeling (82.7%), according to Remodeling Magazine’s annual Cost vs. Value report. The numbers don’t lie. A new wood fence is an excellent investment in the future of your home.
Additional benefits include:
- Curb Appeal: Wood fences look good. Period. And curb appeal is an important tool when it comes to real estate. According to studies, 85% of homebuyers view a home online before visiting it in person. If they don’t like what they see, they won’t even think about stepping foot inside your home. So curb appeal matters!
- Security: Did you know that a property crime occurs in the United States every 2.1 minutes? Property crime includes, among other crimes, burglary, larceny, theft, motor vehicle theft, arson, and vandalism. A fence is an excellent deterrent to property crime.
