Don't add on to your home

By
Home Inspector with Affordable Canadian Home Inspections

DON'T ADD ON TO YOUR HOME.

·  The only addition to you should want for your home is a sold sign. You simply can't recoup the cost of an addition when you go to sell

·  Often a neighborhood can't support your larger home and it is usually more difficult to sell the biggest house on the block

·  Additions often look like additions from the outside; it is difficult for contractors to make an addition blend in with your home's existing architecture

·  A prospect who wants an addition in the future may not be able to afford it now.

 

Tip: If lot size and zoning laws permit additions, get official letters stating so. Include it in your prospect packets.

A bedroom, especially a larger master bedroom, is popular as an addition in our older neighborhoods here, and if the master bedroom is actually built on a new second floor addition with a view, it's great!
