Q: Should I buy a house that once had termites?

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: 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: How do I get the highest appraisal possible?

• <div><p>To get the highest appraisal value possible for your home, make any necessary repairs and updates prior to the appraisal. Some examples of tasks include updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, renovate older areas of the home, and consider staging your home. Keep in mind that some aspects of the appraisal are out of your control, such as comparable properties nearby.</p></div>

Q: Do appraisals come with a warranty?

• <div><p>Appraisals do not come with warranties but are considered accurate at the time of assessment. Market changes can affect values.</p></div>
