When we sold my grandmother's house, the first thing the realtor noticed was the fence. It was old, askew, and the paint was peeling. We were immediately told that if we wanted to raise the price, we'd better renovate it. We decided not to change it, but just painted it and replaced a few boards. In the end, the difference in price was almost $5,000! Has anyone else experienced that a fence really affects the value of a house?

It's true. When I bought a house, I paid attention to such things. An old fence makes you feel neglected, but a sturdy and stylish fence adds to the coziness. This is especially important in neighborhoods where safety comes first. For example, in Australia, modern metal fencing such as Commercial security fencing Sydney is popular because it not only protects but also looks stylish. I think if a house has a good fence, it's actually easier to sell and more expensive to value.
