Does Remodeling A Basement Add Value To A Home?

Remodeling a basement can be one of the best investments you make in your home, but it might not be worth the investment if you live in an area with a declining housing market. If this is the case for you, we recommend that you focus on updating other parts of your house instead. A basement remodel will add value to your home and provide extra living space without having to move! 

If, however, property values are climbing where you live then renovating or adding onto your basement could be a good idea- especially if there’s room left over after finishing off an attic conversion. In these cases, homeowners should consider whether they’re going for more square footage or better use of their existing space before deciding on what type of project to invest in.

 

Consider the cost per square foot

If you live in an area with declining property values, then it probably doesn’t make sense for you to invest the money and time into adding more square footage.   

The answer is no. When you are deciding whether to do this project on the house, consider what type of space improvement would be best for you and if there is enough room in the basement after finishing off an attic conversion first. Remember that adding onto or renovating your basement when property values are climbing can result in more square footage at a higher cost than just updating another part of the house. You might need something else done before then though! Call us today and we’ll take it from here! (

 

To sum up, if you’re considering a basement remodel to add value to your home, be sure that the area where you live is experiencing an increase in value. If not, we recommend renovating other areas of the house instead!

In these cases, homeowners should consider whether they’re going for more square footage or better use of their existing space before deciding on what type of project to invest in. In this case, we encourage homeowners with room left over after finishing off an attic conversion- and who are living in a residential area where property values are climbing- to focus on updating their basements first as it will add value without having to move from their current location. A renovation would also allow them “to capture some higher increases in home values in the future.”
