MOST Aussies want real grass in their backyard and are prepared to shell out an extra $75,000 for a lawn, according to a national survey of real estate agents.
The poll of agents by Turf Australia found in Sydney, where the average house costs $440,000, a lawn could add $83,000 to the price.
Meanwhile in Melbourne, buyers could pay almost $80,000 more on an average $420,000 home for a real patch of green.
Nationally, a lawn could add 18 per cent, or just over $75,000 in value on the average $420,000 home, the survey found.
