Does landscape lighting increase home value?
Landscape lighting increases a home's perceived value and curb appeal, helping it show better and sell faster — especially at evening showings and in listing photos. While exact dollar returns vary, outdoor lighting is consistently ranked among the higher-return, higher-appeal exterior upgrades.
Why it moves buyers
Most buyers form an impression before they ever step inside. A softly lit facade, framed trees, and a welcoming, safe entry make a home feel premium and cared-for — exactly the emotional response that drives offers.
Especially before you sell
Evening drive-bys, twilight photos, and dusk showings all favor a lit home. Lighting is one of the few upgrades that keeps working for you every night it's on, both while you live there and when you list.
