Is Adding A Garage Worth It?
While homes with garages are more common in Raleigh, NC than in any other part of the state, there are many homes (particularly older homes) that do not have them. Many of these homeowners wonder if it is worth considering a garage addition and if the convenience and value added are enough to offset the garage building cost. Based on our experience in the area homes with garages are far more desirable by home buyers and add significant value to the home.
Benefits of Adding a Garage:
• Protection From the Weather – Winters are cold in Raleigh, and garages provide shelter and some insulation for your vehicle from inclement weather. Additionally, they come in handy on rainy days and hot summer days to keep you, as well as your car, out of the extreme weather conditions, like hail storms and tornados.
• Extra Functional Space – While the degree to which you want your garage to be finished may vary from a bare bones garage to a customized space with a garage room or bedroom built in above it, you are adding useable space to your home. It gives you a place to perform maintenance on your car, provides storage for tools and other items that you are unable to store in the house, and can add additional living space in the form of a garage room or garage bedroom upstairs.
• Increased Home Value – A garage addition will add $30,000 onto the value of your home, conservatively. The nicer and more finished the garage, the higher the impact on the resale value. Additionally, it is very likely that a garage could be the amenity that qualifies your home for a certain buyer or makes them choose your home over another without a garage.
If your garage is partially finished or has a room above it for extra living or storage space it makes it more appealing to potential buyers. If you have been considering adding a garage to your home please give us a call to discuss your options and determine what kind of investment will be needed. We can provide financing with great rates and terms.
