Native gardens are selling homes, and selling them well.
A recent New York Times article followed several homeowners who chose to keep their native plant gardens when listing their homes. The results are hard to argue with.
One Maryland homeowner accepted an offer $20,000 over list price before the first open house. The buyers specifically asked for a plant list before moving in.
A New Jersey property with a native meadow and organic vegetable garden sold for $1.75 million, $500,000 over asking with multiple offers in a single weekend.
Another home with eight years of native plantings sold for $1.15 million after seven days on the market, listed at $879,000.
The pattern is consistent. Buyers who value ecological landscapes are willing to pay for them and there are more of those buyers every year.
A well-designed native landscape isnโt just good for the environment. Itโs good for your property value. We build the landscape, and our good friends at LendScout by ASMC help make the home yours.
