Q: What’s the difference between a home inspection and a home appraisal?

• <div><p>A home inspection and a home appraisal serve different purposes. A home inspection is a visual evaluation of the property's overall condition to identify any structural problems or issues with major systems like electrical and plumbing. Its main goal is to assess the home's long-term safety and determine if repairs are needed before a sale. In contrast, a home appraisal is a thorough evaluation of the property and its surrounding area to determine its current fair market value. This value helps set the asking price and guides the mortgage company&rsquo;s lending decision. The average cost for both a home inspection and a home appraisal is around $350 each.</p></div>

Q: Can installing a wine cellar add value to my home?

• <div><p>Adding a wine cellar, wine cave, or customized wine storage of any kind to your property can add significant value if you eventually decide to put it on the market. Even if some prospective buyers are not wine drinkers themselves, having a wine cellar or wine cave makes the property more desirable overall.</p></div>

Q: Does an RV garage add value to a home?

• <div><p>Yes, an RV garage can add value to a home. In most cases, homeowners can expect to see a return on investment (ROI) of 65% on a new RV garage. This isn&rsquo;t quite as high as a regular garage, but it still increases the value of your home.</p></div>

Q: Do basement bedrooms count on an appraisal?

• <div><p>Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they&rsquo;re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn&rsquo;t a legal living space won&rsquo;t affect your appraisal value.</p></div>
