Is a scullery worth it?

• <div><p>Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). </p></div>

Q: Do home appraisers look at windows?

• <div><p>Yes, home appraisers look at your windows when appraising your property to determine the market value of your home. They&rsquo;ll factor in the type of windows, quality, condition, whether or not there are screens covering the windows, frame materials, size, insulation, and more to come up with an unbiased property assessment.</p></div>

Q: Will a tennis court affect my property taxes?

• <div><p>In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits&mdash;like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court&mdash;then your property taxes will be affected. </p></div>

Q: Do sellers usually lower their asking price after the appraisal?

• <div><p>In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-find-home-appraiser.htm">hire another appraiser</a> to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn&rsquo;t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.</p></div>

Q: How do appraisers adjust for a finished basement?

• <div><p>While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location&rsquo;s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. </p></div>
