Do built-in bookcases add value?

• <div><p>While a single shelf here and there doesn’t add value to your home, a built-in bookcase can increase your home’s value under the right circumstances. Not every built-in bookcase works in your favor here—those built from high-quality materials tend to provide a better ROI. If you’re looking for your bookcase to work for your home’s value, consider having a professional build it with luxury hardwood. </p></div>

How long does an appraisal take?

• <div><p>The entire appraisal process takes from <b>seven to 10 days</b>. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.</p><p>Home appraisal services include the following tasks:</p><ul><li><p>Inspect home interior and exterior</p></li><li><p>Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations</p></li><li><p>Review comparable properties</p></li><li><p>Write an appraisal report</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How much can I borrow for a home addition?

• <div><p>While there&rsquo;s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.</p></div>

Q: Does home automation increase your property value?

• <div><p>In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner&rsquo;s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a <b>50% and 75%</b> return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner&rsquo;s insurance.</p></div>

Q: Do built-in bookcases add value?

• <div><p>While a single shelf here and there doesn&rsquo;t add value to your home, a built-in bookcase can increase your home&rsquo;s value under the right circumstances.

If you&rsquo;re looking for your bookcase to work for your home&rsquo;s value, consider having a professional build it with luxury hardwood. </p></div>

Q: Do appraisals usually come in high?

• <div><p>Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you&rsquo;ll often see the opposite happening.</p></div>

Use this company!!! Eddie was great during the planning process and Jason and Nando worked their butts off during a hot July moving day. They were professional, courteous, and took excellent care of my antiques, china, and crystal. I would use them again in a heartbeat!!!
