It’s important to look ahead in life and plan for what’s coming down the road in many aspects. This planning includes the fences you might choose for your home. If you are planning to resell your home, don’t just pick a fence for today, but one that will positively impact your resale value in the future. Read on to learn more about what types of fences can help you achieve this goal.
It’s All About Lasting Quality
Those who think long term about eventual resale should do their best to create lasting quality in all aspects of their properties and homes. Here is how to apply this philosophy to fence choices. A fence with the best resale value will:
- last a long time
- require only a little maintenance
- and have a timeless aesthetic that will appeal to a wide range of buyers regardless of the time or the trends
While it is not easy to find cut and dry answers as to whether or not a fence directly impacts resale value, it is easy to find the answer through common sense. An attractive, appealing, and appropriate fence that highlights a property’s best aspects can only benefit it when the time to resell it comes.
A Classic Look
One strategy for boosting resale is to choose a home with a classic look that will appeal to many different people. While it is impossible to please everyone, some fence trends come and go, while other looks are universal staples. If you are looking to draw in the majority of potential buyers with a timeless look, opt for one of these fences:
Wooden Picket Fence: These fences are ideal when paired with an American colonial style home. When paired with the right home, these fences help to create an overall look of classic Americana and complete comfort.
Wooden Security Fence: These fences are budget friendly, easy to build, and have a relatively long lifespan. They are also easy to customize, which might appeal to many potential homeowners.
Wrought Iron-Style Steel Fence: These timeless fences look great with a variety of homes, but are pure perfection when paired with a stately Victorian house.
