While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage.

That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump. 

Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser’s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back.
