Should I buy a house that once had termites?

• <div><p>Termite damage isn’t always a deal breaker when buying a house, but don’t dismiss it. If that’s the case, you should hire a professional termite inspection to understand the extent of the damage, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/talking-termite-treatments.htm">type of termite</a>, state of repairs, and whether the infestation is gone.</p><p>If the termites are gone and the current owners repaired the damage, you might want to proceed. You may even be able to use the damage as a bargaining point. However, don’t forget that home insurance policies often don’t cover termite treatment or repairs and active infestations are tricky to shift.</p></div>

Q: Can siding orientation affect a home’s resale value?

• <div><p>Yes, siding orientation can affect a home&rsquo;s resale value, but in what way and by how much really depends on the prospective buyer. For instance, some buyers prefer the more modern appearance that vertical siding offers, so having it can increase your home&rsquo;s value in their eyes. However, other buyers prefer the classic, more common appearance of horizontal siding, so having vertical siding can decrease your home&rsquo;s value in their eyes. </p></div>

Q: Do additions add value to a home?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-additions-add-value.htm">Home additions can add significant value</a> to a home by increasing its overall square footage and enhancing a home's functionality and appeal. Key additions such as extra bedrooms, bathrooms, or larger kitchens offer the highest returns on investment. Well-planned additions that seamlessly integrate with the existing structure and match the neighborhood's style can boost curb appeal and market value. However, the actual increase in value depends on the quality of the work, the types of additions, and the current real estate market conditions.</p></div>

Q: Does a home sauna increase the home value?

• <div><p>Having a sauna at home may be considered a luxury to some homebuyers, which can give you a good return on investment. This, however, depends on the homebuyers. Some may not want to spend the extra time and cost of heating and maintaining a sauna.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to buy a home with a cesspool?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re in the market, you might think twice before buying a home with a cesspool on the property. You&rsquo;ll need to factor in the costs of either maintaining the cesspool (such as with aeration, pumping, and cleaning) or dismantling the system and replacing it with a septic tank or sewage line connection. It might still be a good idea to buy that home, but you&rsquo;ll need to decide for yourself if the costs and hassle are worth it.</p></div>
