Attracting wealthy buyers requires significant upgrades in backyard design. Popular features include retractable glass walls for increased natural light and airflow, which cost $50,000 to over $200,000 but can yield a 60% to 80% ROI. Covered patios with heating and air conditioning systems are also in high demand, making outdoor spaces usable year-round. These enhancements transform traditional backyards into luxurious living extensions, essential for modern luxury home markets.
"They increase natural light and air flow, and can do wonders for the perceived size and quality of a home," says Nancy Dow, interior designer at Sierra Living Concepts in Fremont, CA.
"When it's done right, that space becomes an extension of the living room. You can watch a football game out there in October or drink coffee in March without freezing," says Becky Pendergrass, a real estate agent.
