An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home.

Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.
