[QUEENSLAND - January 2024] Homeowners are thinking about outdoor upgrades for the New Year. The Outdoor Living Trends Index survey showed homeowners' preferences, including their 2024 renovation goals and top outdoor living upgrades for this year.

Popular Outdoor Space Features

The survey revealed that homeowners prioritize adding a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen, and a pergola. Additionally, 20 percent of homeowners surveyed aimed to replace concrete with pavers. These findings align with the survey's daily feedback, as the fire pit has increasingly become a symbol of family gatherings and outdoor bonding.

Spaces for Renovation

Homeowners were asked to prioritize spaces for renovation in 2024. Options included the kitchen, outdoor living space, living room, and bathroom. Findings showed that outdoor living space was the top priority, with 34 percent ranking it first, followed by the kitchen and the bathroom. This trend indicates the shift towards outdoor living as a central aspect of modern homes.

Adding Value to a Home

Improving outdoor living spaces enhances the overall appeal and functionality of a house and adds significant value. According to the National Association of Realtors, landscaping improvements can increase a home's value by 10 to 12 percent. Investing in outdoor living upgrades can potentially provide a high return on investment.

Analysing year-over-year sales and leads shows homeowners increasingly prioritize their outdoor living spaces. The growing momentum is truly exciting and supported by the survey results.
