Q: Does stucco increase home value?

• <div><p>Much like any new siding, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-stucco-increase-home-value.htm">stucco will increase home value</a> and curb appeal. Stucco provides an average ROI of 70%. With the average cost to stucco a house sitting at $5,700, you can expect to see a value bump of close to $4,000. Opting for a high-end stucco texture can improve value even further. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a ranch house and a bungalow?

• <div><p>Ranch-style homes are typically larger and more rectangular than most bungalows' small, square footprints. The floor plans for these two home styles are often different, too, with ranch home bedrooms placed along a hallway off the central living space and bungalows having their bedrooms directly off the main area without hallways.</p></div>

Q: Does a pergola add value to property?

• <div><p>Pergolas may have a 50% to 80% return on investment, whether they&rsquo;re standard, manual, motorized, or smart pergolas. Your pergola will add more value when you choose a structure made from durable, long-lasting materials and when the pergola is properly installed by a professional. Extra features like a motorized roof, smart louvers, and heaters or misters may give you a better ROI.</p></div>

Q: How can I make sure my property gets the highest appraisal possible?

• <div><p>While parts of the appraisal are out of your control, there are some things you can do to potentially raise the home&rsquo;s value. You can make necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser visits&mdash;an appraiser can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades. The appraiser will likely increase the value of your home by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.</p></div>

Q: Do foundation cracks affect your appraisal?

• <div><p>Foundation cracks won&rsquo;t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren&rsquo;t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.</p></div>

As the seller's agent, I requested a quote, and forwarded that to the buyer. They did contract with them, but I had no further interaction. I was very impressed with his response to the request for a quote

The move went very well. Goods were delivered and unpacked in a timely manner. Just a few broken items but it's difficult to move and have every single thing make it in perfect condition. There are a lot of bad moving companies out there. This is a good one. They may cost more but they are the...
