Does a shed add value to real estate? On the Fleurieu, the answer is yes, especially if you install a high-quality, custom ShedEx Fleurieu shed.
Fleurieu Real estate; liven up your property listings
A new CoreLogic report shows nine of the ten regional areas with the most expensive house prices are located on the Fleurieu, and the area is still very popular and in demand. However, if you want to sell for a premium, you need to take steps to ensure your property stands out. This will help you attract more interest and higher bids.
Here are a few ways to increase the value of your Fleurieu home when it’s time to sell.
Get more for your real estate
– Add a shed
A shed gives you the potential for a photographer’s music or artist’s studio, guest accommodation, a kids’ rumpus room, a home office and so much more.
A quality, custom-built shed will definitely add value to your property as it is basically an extra room for the home. It’s hard to quantify exactly how much value is added because it will depend on the type of the shed but if you can prove it has been built well by a local provider who uses quality products and methods, you’ll add to the appeal of your property.
– Pad out your parking
From Goolwa to Yankalilla, real estate buyers scan listings and compare notes looking for features including the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and parking spaces.
If your property doesn’t already have a garage or carport, a shed is an easy win; and it can be so much more flexible than a garage that’s built as part of the house.
When you have an external garage/shed, you can have room for three cars or even more. You’ll also get a lot more height than a garage that’s attached to the house, which usually only allows around 2.1 metres of clearance. If you have, for example, a van with a roof rack, you’ll end up parking it on the street. The same can go for a caravan or specialty vehicle.
A custom garage gives you and your future buyers the potential for a whole fleet of vehicles.
– Create some rust-resistant storage
Speaking of vehicles… and bikes… and equipment… the Fleurieu, while beautiful, is one of the ‘rustiest’ places in Australia thanks to those beautiful sea breezes.
A storage shed for boats, lawnmowers etc will protect them from weather damage. It’s another great selling point your local real estate agent can work into the conversation.
– Stand out
In a cluttered market, anything that gives your property a unique identifier will add value. These days, eco-friendliness and sustainability get a lot of attention,while features like solar power and storage tanks for rainwater could be a big drawcard for potential buyers.
ShedEx Fleurieu sheds are compatible with solar panelling and we’ll also advise you on the best roof pitch to achieve maximum solar panel efficiency. The property ad almost writes itself!
