Does a heated driveway increase home value?

• <div><p>A heated driveway can increase your home’s value depending on where you live and the age of your system. If you live in a region with very heavy snowfall, this feature will be more desirable amongst potential buyers. If you don’t plan to sell your home for another 15 years or more, then it likely won’t be a big selling feature as the technology will have aged too much over time. A heated driveway will only increase your home value if you’re planning to sell your home in the next two to five years.</p></div>

Q: Does a garage add value to your property?

• <div><p>Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn&rsquo;t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance. </p></div>

Q: How long is an FHA appraisal good for?

• <div><p>An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.</p></div>

Q: Do appraisals usually come in high?

• <div><p>Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you&rsquo;ll often see the opposite happening.</p></div>

Q: What financing options are available for modular homes?

• <div><p>Options include traditional mortgages, construction loans, and personal loans. Consult lenders specializing in modular home financing.</p></div>

Stonebridge handled the job very professionally, dealt with my insurance agent, and kept me updated at every stage of the process. I referred Stonebridge to 2 different neighbors. They were amazed that my roof was replaced in 2 days, while a competitor took over a week to finish the roof across...

Fabulous. Mr. Winslow exceeded all of my expectations of what to expect from a realtor. I was very nervous because I have never had to sell a house that is not in the city/state where I live. Mr. Winslow walked me through the entire process and handled numerous tasks in my absence. He gave...

They were really good. I recommend the shop but not necessarily every beautician there. They change really often. They come in there and once they have established themselves, they move on. The shop itself is really good, but just about time you meet a real good one, they move on. It's not...
