Outdoor Living Increases In Popularity
Outdoor living is becoming more popular as indoor living space is shrinking and becoming an extremely high-cost premium. But what gives your home a fiery spark to send buyers rushing to write an offer? Perhaps, bringing the comforts of indoor living outside may help. Outdoor fireplaces create a visual focal point and are often a quality of the home that attracts buyers. “This is a great way for people to warm up and gather around. They’re very well engineered,” says Peter Ross, CEO of Home & Hearth, Inc.
Ross is referring to pre-built outdoor fireplaces. “What you end up with is basically a hand-made stone fireplace that comes in four sections and you can set it up in your yard in your garden or on a patio,” explains Ross. They create an attractive landmark in a backyard that can easily help to influence buyers to choose your home especially in areas where being outside at night would not be an option unless an inviting fireplace could warm up guests.
