REAL ESTATE · BEND, OREGON · 2024
Bend's real estate market is competitive, and landscaping can be a significant differentiator. But not all landscaping investments return equal value. Here's what the research and our experience in Central Oregon's market tells us about landscaping ROI.
| Project | Typical Cost | Estimated ROI | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paver patio | $10,000–$25,000 | 60–80% | High demand in Bend market |
| Xeriscape conversion | $10,000–$30,000 | 50–70% | Plus ongoing water savings |
| Irrigation system | $3,000–$7,000 | 80–100% | Expected by buyers |
| Lawn renovation | $2,000–$6,000 | 100–150% | High curb appeal impact |
| Landscape lighting | $2,000–$8,000 | 50–75% | Extends outdoor usability |
In Bend's market, buyers increasingly expect a functional outdoor living space — a patio, fire feature, or outdoor kitchen. Properties with well-designed outdoor spaces sell faster and at higher prices than comparable homes with bare yards.
Irrigation systems are essentially expected in Bend. A home without irrigation is seen as requiring immediate investment — which buyers factor into their offers.
First impressions matter enormously in real estate. Studies consistently show that professional landscaping can increase a home's perceived value by 5–15%.
In Bend's market, where homes often sell within days of listing, curb appeal can be the difference between a bidding war and a price reduction. A well-maintained lawn, clean beds, and attractive hardscape signal that the property has been cared for.
PRO TIP
If you're preparing to sell, focus on curb appeal first: fresh mulch, clean edging, healthy lawn, and a power-washed patio. These low-cost improvements have the highest ROI for sellers.
