Q: What is the difference between a land survey and a land appraisal?

• <div><p>A land survey gives you information about the property boundaries, easements on the plot, dimensions, and, in some cases, topographical information. A land appraisal will often take these figures into account, but the purpose of a land appraisal is to determine the value of the land rather than the physical specifications.</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: Do sheds increase home value?

• <div><p>While sheds are most certainly helpful for most homeowners, unfortunately, sheds do not add value to a home or property in the traditional sense. However, if the home has limited storage or garage space, having a shed to store things like decorations or lawn equipment can certainly be a positive if you want to sell. </p></div>

Q: Do wood floors improve home value?

• <div><p>Yes, wood floors are among the most desirable flooring options, and most homebuyers are willing to pay more for homes with high-quality wood floors installed. Wood floors are relatively easy to repair, maintain, and clean, and buyers may pay a premium for the convenience and natural beauty of wood floors, especially if they&rsquo;re new or in good condition. You can reasonably expect a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/remodeling-projects-highest-roi.htm">return on investment </a>of around <b>75%</b> or more when you upgrade to wood floors, depending on the quality and type of wood.</p></div>

Q: How much does a detached garage add to home value?

• <div><p>Adding a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-garage-add-to-home-value.htm">detached garage can increase the home's value</a> by a healthy amount, provided it's well-constructed, permitted, and inspected. The return on investment for a detached garage depends on the structure's size and function, as well as its quality. On average, consumers who add a detached garage can expect their home's value to increase by between $12,000 and $36,000. </p></div>

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.
