Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

An addition like a garage can increase your home value significantly, but it’s also quite expensive to convert a carport into a garage. In some cases, you may see just a small boost to home value. With that being said, a carport conversion can add value to your experience as a homeowner long before you sell. Garages are useful for security reasons and storing vehicles, plus they can serve as a convenient place for storage and as workspaces or even living spaces.

While it's smart to save up about 25 percent of the price of a home—to cover the down payment and closing costs—many loans require between less than 3% down to qualify. In either case, you'll need between 3 and 6 percent for the closing and moving costs as well as a strong financial history for mortgage approval.

If the value of the home you want to buy is appraised at less than the price of the offer, you may not be able to obtain a loan for the offer amount. Lenders want to ensure that the amount they’re lending isn’t more than the market value of the property, so you may have to increase your down payment to reduce the loan amount or get a second appraisal if you still want to proceed with the purchase.

You can find ranch-styled homes around the North, West, and Midwest regions. Some of the states where they’re more common are California and Texas. However, it’s worth noting that you can technically find these houses across the country since there’s nothing stopping homeowners from building one—unless lack of land is an issue.

Yes, shipping container homes have a very high resale value if they’ve been well maintained over the years. You can resell this home similar to how you’d resell any home. The value depends on the market and the condition. As a bonus, you can transport many container homes depending on the design, which makes them easier to sell if the local market is challenging.
