Real estate experts -should we invest $5k in backyard landscaping/patio - plan to sell in 3 to 4 yrs

Yea, @AlmostThere2018 ! Glad you are doing it! You are getting an extra room for half the year - (we do most of our entertaining outdoors when the weather is nice). It sounds like a small investment for a great return. And you can enjoy it while you still have the house and not worry that it’ll be a turnoff when you go to sell.
