Q: Does a smart home increase property value?

• <div><p>A comprehensive smart home system can be really attractive to buyers and increase the value of your property. Components such as a smart security system, smart lawn and garden systems, and smart appliances can all drive up the value of your property.</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: 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: How much does a mobile home weigh?

• <div><p>Mobile homes weigh anywhere between 45 to 50 pounds per square foot. Some newer options weigh up to 70 pounds per square foot. An average single-wide mobile home weighs 45,000 pounds, and a double-wide mobile home weighs about 70,000 pounds. Triple-wide mobile homes range from 90,000 to 100,000 pounds. </p></div>
