Can you negotiate an as-is purchase?

• <div><p>You may be able to negotiate an as-is purchase, but many sellers who list their homes as-is aren’t willing to lower their asking price since they’ve already accounted for the price of repairs. Homes are often listed as-is for a quick sale, so there’s a chance a seller may negotiate in order to make the sale—it never hurts to ask. </p></div>

Q: Does a screened-in porch increase property taxes?

• <div><p>Yes, a screened-in porch will increase your property taxes because it has a foundation and is considered a permanent improvement to your land. The exact amount your taxes will go up depends on the value of your existing home, the value added by the screened-in porch, the size of the structure, your location, and more.</p></div>

Q: Can a seller back out if an appraisal is higher than an offer?

• <div><p>If the sales agreement has a clause that allows the seller to renegotiate based on the appraised value, then they might be able to back out if the appraisal comes in higher than your offer price. If the agreement doesn&rsquo;t have that language, then the seller has no legal recourse to back out. They could hold a higher offer as a backup and move onto that one if yours falls through for any reason, but once the agreement is signed, the seller is locked into that purchase price unless there&rsquo;s a clause stating they can renegotiate.</p></div>

Q: Do garden windows add value to your home?

• <div><p>Garden windows can add value to your home and are an attractive feature for potential homebuyers. These windows add a custom look to your home and usable shelf space for homeowners with a green thumb. You&rsquo;ll likely recoup your investment when it comes time to sell. </p></div>

Q: Do basketball hoops raise property value?

• <div><p>While there's not a lot of definite research, some experts suggest that an in-ground or wall-mounted basketball hoop can add value to your home by increasing curb appeal. In addition, having a basketball hoop is an attractive feature of a house since it promotes physical activity, especially for children. </p></div>
