Q: Does a Trex deck increase home value?

• <div><p>Adding a deck is great for entertaining guests during the summer and can increase your home value. The ROI ranges between 60% and 70%, making building a deck one of the better home improvement projects if you plan to sell your home. The investment will also have a higher return if the deck adds square footage to your property.</p></div>

Q: Do sellers usually lower their asking price after the appraisal?

• <div><p>In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-find-home-appraiser.htm">hire another appraiser</a> to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn&rsquo;t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.</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>

Q: Does a treehouse add value to a home?

• <div><p>It can, especially with the rising popularity of treehouses that go beyond the ones designed for kids. Adults can now use them as office spaces, yoga studios, or quiet treetop retreats. That said, a treehouse can appeal to families with children or adults who might want to convert it into a space of their own. Depending on the buyer, they may be willing to pay extra for the unique feature.</p></div>

Q: Does a pergola add value to property?

• <div><p>Pergolas may have a 50% to 80% return on investment, whether they&rsquo;re standard, manual, motorized, or smart pergolas. Your pergola will add more value when you choose a structure made from durable, long-lasting materials and when the pergola is properly installed by a professional. Extra features like a motorized roof, smart louvers, and heaters or misters may give you a better ROI.</p></div>

Service is prompt and efficient. Bruce is a real authority on tires. We trust his advice and the quality of the tires he sells. In the past he's done forensic evaluation on tires that came with our newest car and failed to perform well.

It went well. At first it was a little rocky, but more because she was not initially the real estate agent I had been working with. There hasn't been a finish yet though as she has continued to maintain contact and check to ensure things are still going as I had planned.
