Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

Adding a well can increase your home value by as much as 10%, especially if you live on a property without a connection to municipal water. But you’ll want to hire a skilled well and pump contractor for installation because an improperly installed well could actually decrease the property value.

In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.

A comprehensive smart home system can be really attractive to buyers and increase the value of your property. Components such as a smart security system, smart lawn and garden systems, and smart appliances can all drive up the value of your property.

Provides additional space and enhances property appeal, potentially increasing resale value.

The cost to appraise a home depends on the type. Common types include:

Single-family homes: $300–$400
FHA or VA single-family homes: $400–$500
Condominium: $300–$500
Multi-family home: $500–$1,000
Apartment building: $1,500–$3,000
Commercial properties: $1,400–$10,000
Raw land: $1,000–$8,000
