Can I be present during the home appraisal?

• <div><p>You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way.

Q: Do estate shutters increase home value?

• <div><p>Estate shutters are considered a high-end window treatment that increases home value. As previously mentioned, this project comes with an ROI of up to 75%. Shutters can also improve your home&rsquo;s energy efficiency, especially if you choose PVC or faux wood shutters, which will lead to long-term savings on your energy bills.</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: Can xeriscaping increase your home value?

• <div><p>Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn&rsquo;t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don&rsquo;t like the appearance.</p></div>

Q: Does a deck add value to a home?

• <div><p>Adding a deck to your home will increase its overall value. Per <a href="https://www.remodeling.hw.net/cost-vs-value/2023/"><i>Remodeling</i></a><i> </i>magazine's 2023 Cost vs. Value Report, building a deck is a top 15 home improvement task. Installing a wooden deck has an average return on investment (ROI) of 52%, while building a composite deck offers almost 40% ROI. The amount of value a deck adds to your home depends on deck size, type, material, age, and how well you maintain it.</p></div>
