A wooden privacy fence can add value to a home, but it would usually just add around 50% of the fence installation cost. For example, a $10,000 fence cost will only add about $5,000 to your home’s value. So if you’re planning to install a high-end fence to boost your home’s value, the return on investment is not really that high. A home with a good fence, though, attracts more potential buyers. Therefore, it’s better to focus on affordability, versatility, durability, design, and cost-effectiveness.
