Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Tiny homes may depreciate and be more challenging to sell because of their size, customization, and unique space. If your tiny home is on wheels, depreciation can happen in the same way that cars and RVs do. If your tiny home isn’t structurally sound, the resale value will also be lower. 

No, the appraisal value comes from an appraiser and is a professional opinion of value based on property location and condition, while the market value is determined solely by what buyers are willing to pay for your home. Lenders normally use appraised values to ensure they’re staying within target loan-to-value (LTV) ratios—the market value is simply what the home sells for. Appraised value can sit above or below market value.

A new gravel driveway—and accompanying landscaping around it—can boost your curb appeal and overall property value. On average, a newly paved driveway can boost your property value by 5–10%.

While LVP won’t increase home value as much as engineered hardwood, it can increase the value somewhat because it creates a warm and inviting aesthetic. It’s also durable and waterproof, so it can be appealing to homebuyers with pets and children. LVP is very low-maintenance, so that can also appeal to homebuyers who don’t want to spend a lot of time keeping up with an engineered or solid hardwood floor.

Updating the siding on your home can potentially increase its value. Of course, the type of siding you pick determines the return on investment you can earn. For instance, stone veneer siding has a 153% ROI, while more affordable options such as vinyl have an 80% ROI. It’s best to research which type will boost the value of your home the most if that is your ultimate goal.
