For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.

Even if the direct increase in resale value is modest, a well-chosen awning enhances the home's functionality and aesthetic.
