St. John Additions

Adding onto your home can be a lot less stressful than going through the moving process. Think about it: to move into a bigger house, you’ll need to list your current home, hope you find a buyer who pays enough that you don’t lose money on the sale, find the right house to be your next home, and deal with all the closing and moving costs that come with a move.

By adding onto the house you currently own, you can stay in the place where you’ve already set down roots.

Why Add Onto your Home?

There are lots of reasons why homeowners choose additions over moving. A few examples include:

• A desire to increase the value of the home. Larger homes command higher price tags, so if you’re thinking about selling the house eventually, an addition now can mean a boost to your sales price later;
• As families grow, they need more space. If you don’t currently have space for a nursery or for your children to have their own bedrooms as they grow older, consider adding an addition for their benefit. Sometimes, homeowners build new spaces in their homes to accommodate their aging parents’ and other loved ones’ needs by having them move in; and
• If you’ve ever considered house hacking, you can possibly turn your single family home into a multifamily property by adding onto it. Check whether your property is currently zoned for multifamily, though, because this is only possible if the property and neighborhood are zones for this type of home. On a similar note, if you already reside in a multifamily property, an addition can be a great value-add by making your one-bedroom unit into a two-bedroom or larger space to rent out.
