For the thousands of Americans who add bedrooms, play areas, study rooms, home offices and private dens to their homes every year, home additions can provide an easy way to extend living spaces without the need to move. An addition to your property can be the ideal solution for an expanding family looking for more space without the need to relocate. Even if you have no desire for increased space, you can boost the resale value of your home by making an addition to your house. A home with additional bathrooms, sunrooms, spare bedrooms or family rooms is almost guaranteed a higher price in the market.
Although additions to your home can enhance your property value, the best time for a home addition project is when you plan to stay in your property for few more years before selling it off. You can never be entirely sure of the ROI at the time of selling, so it's wise to enjoy your new room additions for a while before you consider placing it on the market. If ROI is the number one priority, consider kitchen basement and family room additions that offer the greatest return on investment. For instance, a new master bed room addition ranks lower down the line in terms of ROI, although it can greatly enhance your life style.
Certain home additions, like adding an extra bedroom can be necessary changes to your property. If you find that your children need their own rooms to avoid stifling each other, you'll find that bedroom additions are a cheaper alternative to moving. Other additions are not entirely necessary, but greatly enhance the quality of your life. For instance, a sunroom addition can help brighten your home, and provide a large space for entertaining or socializing. A beautiful custom sunroom addition that makes use of high efficiency glass, and top of the line wood will give you a beautiful sunroom that makes lounging a pleasure.
Moving to KC (looking to buy a home in Parkville). The house we are considering is new construction with about 1200 sq ft of unfinished basement. What is the ball park square footage price to finish with framing a bedroom, installing a bath and the rest as media room with bar? I realize this is general, but I want a general idea of costs. Thanks so much. Look forward to hearing from you.
