The second best time is now. Check out this article by MoneySense showing how you can grow your property value by planting a tree.<\/h2>\n<p>From\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.moneysense.ca\/\">MoneySense.ca<\/a><br \/>\nBy Vanessa Santilli<\/p>\n<h3>Can a tree really increase value? The numbers may surprise you.<\/h3>\n<p>Turns out trees can raise the average home\u2019s value by more than $19,000\u2014and save you $180 or more a year on your energy bills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Energy savings<\/strong>: Properly located trees can reduce air conditioning needs by 30% ($57 per year), and save 20% or more on heating costs ($120+ per year).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Curb appeal<\/strong>: A property with healthy, mature trees could easily sell in excess of 5% more\u2014$19,350 on average\u2014and that\u2019s a conservative figure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not just any tree<\/strong>: The value of a tree can plummet by as much as 50% if the species isn\u2019t desirable for a specific area. Balsam fir, for example, does poorly in urban environments. But slower growing trees, such as oak, usually offer the most value as they provide more shade and stay healthier longer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Placement counts<\/strong>: Plant needle-bearing trees on the north and west side of your home to block winter winds. For shade in the summer, plant deciduous varieties on the south end of your lot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Handle with care<\/strong>: Much of a tree\u2019s ability to enhance property value depends on how it\u2019s maintained. Trees with dead branches and missing bark are considered a risk to your property and will actually decrease your home\u2019s value.<\/p>\n<h3>Want more life hacks that can help you out navigate the real estate market?
