A well maintained lawn __ property value.

• A. Maintains
• B. Decreases
• C. Fluctuates
• D. Increases

Answer: (D)

A well maintained lawn boosts curb appeal and signals good exterior upkeep, which often translates into a higher resale value and easier sale. When a property looks cared for from the outside, buyers feel more confident about the overall condition and maintenance, so improvements in landscaping are associated with increased property value. That’s why increases is the best fit. The other options don’t align with how attractive, well-kept landscaping tends to affect a home’s market value: maintaining would imply no change, fluctuating suggests inconsistency, and decreasing runs opposite to the positive impression a neat lawn creates.
