Fake Grass To Improve Your Home

Fake Grass To Improve Your Home

With the Las Vegas housing market resting comfortably at record levels, we find that the demand for homes is outpacing the rate to which builders can build new homes.  This means that the demand shifts to the secondary market where older homes begin to see increasing values as they are found to be the only option for many buyers.  In these cases, people who have been priced out of the new home market war have simply decided that they do not want to wait the extended periods of time that it takes to build a new home are searching through the existing home market to see if they can find a house for sale that offers than the things that they are looking for.  Because of the increased amount of interest in the home market in Las Vegas due to an increasing influx of people are moving to the area, we find that the real estate market is once again becoming a place where people can earn significant amounts of profit by selling their home.  Even people who had no intention of selling their home are beginning to consider doing so just because the prices are so high.  Because of such a large amount of profit to be had, we find an increasing amount of people fixing up homes with the intention of potentially selling them in the near future.  We’ve seen an uptick in Las Vegas in the amount of people contracting work that will improve a home’s look and functionality significantly in order to gain a higher price at sale.  The secondary home market has the added aspect of buyers negotiating lower prices due to the fact that improvements would need to be made.  If sellers want to secure the highest prices possible for their homes, the need to make sure that the place is in good working order and looks pristine.

One of the ways that home sellers are significantly improving the look of their home without breaking the bank is through the removal of your existing landscaping and the replacement with artificial turf.  This is because the price of the turf installation can be offset through rebates and discounts that are available through the water authority as part of programs which encourage conservation.  Upwards of $3.00 per square foot can be redeemed if you are removing existing grass and replacing it with water smart landscaping like artificial turf.  This will not only improve the look of the house at the discounted price but will also make it more appealing to younger generation of homebuyers who are not interested in the care and maintenance that goes along with the living grass lawn.  This may come as a shock to many older home sellers who own as an upgrade, due to the fact that the younger generation of potential buyers view this as a detriment.  In many cases, buyers will actually negotiate a lower prices because they will need to improve the lawn to artificial turf.  Savvy home Sellers can capitalize on this trend by doing the work themselves.
