Lower-Level Renovations Can Take Home Values To New Heights
Basement renovations are a popular way for homeowners to increase their home’s livability, but they can also increase its resale value by 15 to 20 percent, depending on the work and the market. But as Taylor Johnson client MACK Estates notes in “Six Things To Consider Before Renovating a Basement,” homeowners need to plan for more than aesthetics. By addressing some basic considerations up front, such as adhering to building codes, installing flood-prevention measures, and maximizing ceiling height, homeowners can avoid additional investments down the road.
MACK Estates redevelops its for-sale homes to new-construction standards, including the addition of bedrooms and bathrooms in the basement.
