Is a scullery worth it?

• <div><p>Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). </p></div>

Do new windows increase property taxes?

• <div><p>Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. </p></div>

Q: How can I make sure my property gets the highest appraisal possible?

• <div><p>While parts of the appraisal are out of your control, there are some things you can do to potentially raise the home&rsquo;s value. You can make necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser visits&mdash;an appraiser can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades. The appraiser will likely increase the value of your home by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.</p></div>

Q: Can xeriscaping increase your home value?

• <div><p>Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn&rsquo;t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don&rsquo;t like the appearance.</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>

I hired Alamo Valuation for an appraisal of an investment property. The appraisal was thorough, completed on-time and at a fair price. The appraiser also communicated well throughout the process.

Perfectly. Arrived on time, got right to work, did a fantastic job. Removed and cleaned all screens as well as windows. Large house with 30-plus oversized widows, done in 2 hours. Much more for the money than I expected. Will use them again on another property if they service that area.
