If you are thinking of adding on to your home with an eye toward increasing its value, give careful consideration to design. All too many homeowners automatically assume that "more is better" and that any addition that increases floor space will provide a great return on the original investment at the time of sale. However, the fact of the matter is that, while prospective buyers may welcome additional square footage and amenities, they also pay careful attention to aesthetics. That means that, if an addition does not seamlessly blend with the original structure in terms of proportion, style, and materials, it may actually be detrimental to a sale. A home with an addition should also harmonize well with the neighborhood.
Considering making a big change to your home? You'd be smart to consult with an area real estate agent to learn what the latest trends are in the local real estate market.
