A professional landscape lighting design brings its own list of benefits, including better curb appeal and an extended outdoor entertainment season. But can outdoor lighting also be an investment in your home’s value? Luminocity Inspired Outdoor Lighting is ready to dig into this interesting topic with you.
How much return on investment can you expect from outdoor landscape lighting?
You may be wondering whether professional outdoor lighting will pay for itself in a higher selling price. It’s a complicated question, and the honest answer is complicated as well.
To understand the value of outdoor lighting, take a look first at the rest of your neighborhood. If your neighbors have already jumped on the lighting train, your home is going to be literally left in the dark at night. An investment in outdoor landscape lighting will ensure that your home is priced competitively for your neighborhood and the surrounding areas.
It’s hard to put a dollar sign on the value of landscape lighting, though. We often hear that specific home projects like an updated kitchen or master bath will add a certain percentage of their initial cost to the selling price of a home. Certainly outdoor landscape lighting may pay you back – according to Zillow, the words “landscape lighting” in a listing helped homes sell an average of 3.1 days faster and for 1.6 percent more than homes without the list. We’ll also argue that putting a light on those upgrades is going to be the equivalent of adding an exclamation point to a sentence.
However, outdoor landscape lighting is more than just a number on a spreadsheet. It’s an investment in your quality of life. It tells the world that you’re a homeowner who takes pride in this dwelling, and it lets your home shine in any season. Don’t hold off on landscape lighting until you’re ready to sell a home. Bring the lights home now so you can enjoy them.
What can outdoor lighting do for you?
At Luminocity, we believe strongly in maximizing your home’s unique beauty through the judicious placement of outdoor lighting. Let’s talk about what else you’re getting when you hire Luminocity to add a professional outdoor lighting design:
Landscape lighting will highlight your home’s best features
A good landscape lighting designer knows how to use light to emphasize the lines and intentional design of your home. Outdoor lighting is more than just a few canned lights shining up from the ground. It’s a combination of uplighting and downlighting, using the best fixtures in the business, to paint your home in light.
Lighting will add security
Indiana reported 12,680 burglaries in 2021, the latest year statistics are available. That follows a 10-year downward trend, but a decrease in overall burglaries is little consolation when someone breaks into your home. Outdoor lighting may cut down on your risk of break-ins by literally shining a light on the dark areas around your home.
Your home will stand out to potential buyers
Put yourself behind the wheel of a potential homebuyer who is driving down your street. Do you want to find out more about the home that’s sitting in the shadows, or are you interested in moving into the home that is already a showcase thanks to its outdoor landscape lighting? We think that’s an easy answer. Remember, first impressions are everything.
