Can an ADU be bigger than your house?

• <div><p>Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence’s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.</p></div>

Q: How do you negotiate with a homebuilder?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price. </p></div>

Q: Is it less expensive to renovate or build a new house?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/renovate-vs-remodel.htm">Renovating or remodeling</a> an existing structure is usually less expensive than the cost to build a new house. That&rsquo;s because you can save on the costs of new building materials, laying a foundation, framing the entire building, and installing new materials and utilities throughout the house. However, if a home is in very poor condition or is incredibly old, you could spend more on upgrades and restoration compared to building from scratch. </p></div>

Q: Is it possible to finance new construction?

• <div><p>Yes, there are a few different ways you can finance new construction. Some lenders offer new construction loans that cover the building costs and then convert to a standard mortgage once construction is complete. Some custom homebuilders also offer financing options that only require a down payment before you begin the building process. Construction loans are possible, as well, although they typically only cover the building process, and you&rsquo;ll need to pay in full once the house is completed.</p></div>

Q: Can you build a house without blueprints?

• <div><p>Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.</p></div>
