I was reflecting on some of my past listings that had that magic factor, the homes that had more than a half dozen offers and here is one common thread, the outdoor space was often thoughtfully maintained and improved - a place that many buyers would want to seek refuge in . Mature trees have many benefits, they provide cleaner air, shade, a picturesque outlook, privacy from neighbors, and sound when the wind sweeps through the leaves. San Francisco magazine did an Oakland issue last year, as so many SF residents are migrating to the Oakland marketplace. One of the main reasons - we have backyards!
