Do shipping container homes hold value?

• <div><p>Yes, shipping container homes have a very high resale value if they’ve been well maintained over the years. You can resell this home similar to how you’d resell any home. The value depends on the market and the condition. As a bonus, you can transport many container homes depending on the design, which makes them easier to sell if the local market is challenging. </p></div>

Q: Does a flagpole increase property value?

• <div><p>Installing a flagpole can improve your home&rsquo;s curb appeal, so it will often have a modest positive impact on your property value. You&rsquo;ll see a much larger bump in property value if you install a custom wooden flagpole than you would if you install a standard aluminum pole. Adding lighting to your flagpole will also have a positive impact on home value, as will <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/helpful-tips-pruning-trees.htm">trimming trees</a> away from the new lawn addition.</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: Is it worth it to buy a home with a cesspool?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re in the market, you might think twice before buying a home with a cesspool on the property. You&rsquo;ll need to factor in the costs of either maintaining the cesspool (such as with aeration, pumping, and cleaning) or dismantling the system and replacing it with a septic tank or sewage line connection. It might still be a good idea to buy that home, but you&rsquo;ll need to decide for yourself if the costs and hassle are worth it.</p></div>

Q: Do sellers usually lower their asking price after the appraisal?

• <div><p>In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-find-home-appraiser.htm">hire another appraiser</a> to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn&rsquo;t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.</p></div>

Our home inspector told us that we should have the foundation looked at, especially since most of the jacks were the "temporary" kind. Also, many of the beams for the first floor were altered to make way for utilities, had been shimmed, and many other short cuts fixes over the years. CT...

We received an estimate because the insulation qualified for a rebate program. The sales agent was great to work with. He took the construction style of the house into consideration. As an older house, it used the "balloon" technique where the exterior walls were built as one piece from the...

On short notice, the agent came out for what I thought was going to be an estimate. He took a look and let us know he had the time and parts to do the work right away. Once he found out that we were new to the area, he also gave some good local advice.
