Do new windows increase property taxes?

• <div><p>Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a ranch house and a bungalow?

• <div><p>Ranch-style homes are typically larger and more rectangular than most bungalows' small, square footprints. The floor plans for these two home styles are often different, too, with ranch home bedrooms placed along a hallway off the central living space and bungalows having their bedrooms directly off the main area without hallways.</p></div>

Q: What factors do professionals consider in appraisals?

• <div><p>Property condition, comparables, market trends, and location influence appraisal.</p></div>

Q: How many bedrooms for the best resale value?

• <div><p>You should aim to have three or more bedrooms for the best resale value, and having four bedrooms is considered the gold standard. Having just two bedrooms is a functional obsolescence for larger family sizes, so a minimum of three bedrooms is ideal. Adding square footage from additional bedrooms will almost always be worthwhile, though, and can easily provide an ROI of 70%.</p></div>

Q: Does a drop ceiling add value to a home?

• <div><p>Stylish drop tiles, such as wood or metal, could add value to your home if the drop ceiling hides imperfections on an old surface. However, traditional fiberboard and plastic drop ceilings can have the opposite effect, especially if new prospective buyers do not like that aesthetic. Savvy buyers may also know that drop ceilings are a go-to ceiling option in areas where leaks are an issue, given the easy access to the area above the ceiling and the ease of replacing a single tile. This could dissuade a buyer from purchasing your home.</p></div>
