Should I skip a home appraisal?

• <div><p>As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. </p><p>In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.</p></div>

Q: Do home appraisers look at windows?

• <div><p>Yes, home appraisers look at your windows when appraising your property to determine the market value of your home. They&rsquo;ll factor in the type of windows, quality, condition, whether or not there are screens covering the windows, frame materials, size, insulation, and more to come up with an unbiased property assessment.</p></div>

Q: Does a new roof add value to a home?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-new-roof-increase-home-value.htm">a new roof will add value to your home</a>, often providing a return on investment (ROI) of between <b>60% and 70%</b>. Not only will a new roof boost curb appeal, but savvy homebuyers will also know that a new roof means they won&rsquo;t have to worry about roof leaks and related damage for years after closing. They&rsquo;ll also know that they&rsquo;ll save money by potentially having decades before they need to worry about paying for repairs or replacement.</p></div>

Q: Does adding a second story increase a home’s value?

• <div><p>Adding a second story can increase the resale value of your home, but your cost-to-value ratio might not give you the return on investment (ROI) you were looking for. Also, there are factors to keep in mind that can impact the value of your home, such as market conditions, your neighborhood, curb appeal, and functionality. If you&rsquo;re hoping this project will give you a significant ROI, talk with a realtor to see what potential increase you can expect and what you can do to maximize your home&rsquo;s value. </p></div>

Q: Does a treehouse add value to a home?

• <div><p>It can, especially with the rising popularity of treehouses that go beyond the ones designed for kids. Adults can now use them as office spaces, yoga studios, or quiet treetop retreats. That said, a treehouse can appeal to families with children or adults who might want to convert it into a space of their own. Depending on the buyer, they may be willing to pay extra for the unique feature.</p></div>
