Great Return on Landscaping & a better market

Located in Meredith, 68 Wagon Wheel Trail sold for $3,762,000. They were originally asking $4,390,000 and then lowered the ask to $3,895,000. On the market for 240 days, but this same property was purchased by the seller not long ago. This property closed at $2,750,000 in February of 2016. Just over 3 years later and it saw a price tag of almost $1M more. What made it sell for that much more in just 3 years? Landscaping and a great market. The house did see a landscape transformation and stone veneer siding, maybe a few smaller changes here and there but the market demand was also there! Talk about a great investment!
