Do ponds add to your home’s value?

• <div><p>In short, yes, a pond can add to your home’s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond. Having this feature already built into a yard’s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves. But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.</p></div>

What should you not use a home equity loan for?

• <div><p>Avoid using a home equity loan for non-essential or short-term expenses like vacations, luxury purchases, or temporary financial fixes. It’s best to reserve home equity loans for long-term investments, such as home improvements, that can add value to your property or financial position.</p></div>

Q: Do ponds add to your home’s value?

• <div><p>In short, yes, a pond can add to your home&rsquo;s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond. Having this feature already built into a yard&rsquo;s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves. But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.</p></div>

Q: Do sheds increase home value?

• <div><p>While sheds are most certainly helpful for most homeowners, unfortunately, sheds do not add value to a home or property in the traditional sense. However, if the home has limited storage or garage space, having a shed to store things like decorations or lawn equipment can certainly be a positive if you want to sell. </p></div>

Q: Can the architect of my house help me determine when it was built?

• <div><p>Consulting the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-architect-cost.htm">architect</a> of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down&mdash;especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it&rsquo;s best to rely on local government records. </p></div>

Q: Does a tile roof increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, a tile roof will increase the value of your home more than an asphalt shingle roof. Not only do tile roofs look nicer and add more to your curb appeal, but buyers will understand that roof tiles last longer than most other materials, so they can expect minimal maintenance and a long roof lifespan after closing, which often means they&rsquo;ll be willing to pay more for a home with this roof option.</p></div>
