Q: Does an awning add value to a house?

• <div><p>Although the exact return on your investment will depend on the size, style, and quality of your awning, in general, awnings do add resale value to a house by providing more usable space. If an awning doesn&rsquo;t do much in the way of monetary gains due to its low installation costs, it promises to provide an excellent appeal factor to a potential home buyer. </p></div>

Q: Will landscaping increase my property value?

• <div><p>Yes,<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/smart-landscaping-tips-can-increase-home-value.htm"> landscaping can boost your home value</a> by up to 30%. A well-manicured lawn, upgraded walkways with lush plants, and thoughtful lighting all add instant charm and curb appeal. Just revamping your front walkway alone offers a 100% return on investment (ROI) while a pristine lawn can deliver an impressive 217% ROI. Fixing up your home with a few thoughtful design options is a smart, &ldquo;groundbreaking&rdquo; way to make your property stand out and reap the rewards when it&rsquo;s time to sell.</p></div>

Q: How much does a home appraisal cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-home-appraisal-cost.htm">Home and property appraisals cost</a> about <b>$355</b> on average, ranging from <b>$250 to $500</b>, depending on the size of the home and property, age of the property, comparability to nearby homes, and location. While single-family homes typically cost between $300 and $400 to appraise, multi-family home appraisal can cost $500 to $1,000 due to the increased size and building complexity.</p></div>

Q: Should you buy a house that has been underpinned?

• <div><p>As long as the home inspection reveals no problems with the property&rsquo;s structure, it shouldn&rsquo;t be an issue buying an underpinned home. In fact, a properly underpinned property can be more stable than houses that have never had structural issues. However, you could face a higher insurance premium if the property has a history of structural problems. You should always request a structural engineer&rsquo;s report before making a final decision.</p></div>

Q: Does a treehouse add value to a home?

• <div><p>It can, especially with the rising popularity of treehouses that go beyond the ones designed for kids. Adults can now use them as office spaces, yoga studios, or quiet treetop retreats. That said, a treehouse can appeal to families with children or adults who might want to convert it into a space of their own. Depending on the buyer, they may be willing to pay extra for the unique feature.</p></div>
