Q: How do appraisers adjust for a finished basement?

• <div><p>While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. 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. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location&rsquo;s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. </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: How does a garage affect the value of my home?

• <div><p>Having a garage can increase the value of your home considerably, even if the garage isn't considered living space. Many people own cars and want a secure place to park their vehicles when they are home. </p><p>If you decide to finish your garage and convert it into living space, you may affect your home's value. The livable space may increase your home's square footage, which can help its value. But, giving up the garage space may also negatively affect the sale price of your home.</p></div>

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

• <div><p>A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.</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>
