Should I buy a house that once had termites?

Q: Do built-in bookshelves increase home value?

• <div><p>Built-in bookshelves are worth it when you&rsquo;re a bibliophile with an impressive personal library or simply looking for additional practical and stylish storage solutions. They are a great way to utilize wall space to its best advantage. Plus, this <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/remodeling-projects-highest-roi.htm">project adds value</a> to your home and increases its resale potential when made in timeless, high-quality materials.</p></div>

Q: Do modular homes go up in value?

• <div><p>Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.</p></div>

Q: Will a new addition increase my home's value?

• <div><p>The short answer is yes. Room additions almost always increase a home's value. But just how much they increase it varies by the materials you choose, the type of room you build, and other factors. For instance, adding a sunroom will yield you a 49% return on your investment, while adding a primary suite results in a 63% return on your investment.</p></div>

Q: Where can you find Craftsman homes?

• <div><p>Craftsman-style homes are predominantly found in the Western United States, specifically in Southern California, where the style originated. Since the climate was mild and there was access to plenty of natural resources, Southern California became a hub for this style at its inception. That being said, if you consult with an <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/architects/">architect near you,</a> you can have a Craftsman-style home anywhere.</p></div>
