How will an Addition in Wilmington NC Raise Increase Value?

Updated: Apr 13, 2023

Making Money in the Long run


A person’s home is their castle, but sometimes that castle isn’t ornate enough to accommodate all its occupants. Maybe you’ve got a baby on the way or an older parent is moving in with you. Whatever the reason, it’s normal to outgrow your space. When it happens, you’ve got two choices—move to a larger home or build an addition to your current home.


Moving is often a hassle, and sometimes adding on a new bathroom, especially if you’re going to have more people in the house is one of the best things to do! However, it’s not only you who will want that extra bathroom, or a newly remolded one. It is one of the best things to add to a home for potential buyers. Adding a room alone (whether a full room or a 4-season room) can raise the value of your home by between $30,000 and $50,000 for an upscale project, and has one of the highest returns on investment of any project!


You Need Something That You Will Love in the Present



Even if you’re planning on selling next year, you will want something that works for you! Too often we see homeowners overlook their own wants and needs for what they deem will do well later. Well, here’s the harsh news, the market and style are always flowing. You could spend a lot of money on something you don’t like just for a potential customer and then, the trends change. So, while we don’t recommend doing anything too crazy (maybe no giant cows and built into the wall), you should make your space something you enjoy.


Even if you tone down your idea for the general public, don’t totally give up your idea for someone else.


Designing an Addition in Wilmington NC to Fit Your Space


Whether you are adding a brand new floor, adding a brand new room, or just updating a current space to be more usable, you want it to perfectly fit the space! Talking about design is all well and good, but what does that actually mean? It means taking what your space naturally offers and turning that space into your dream. We have built our reputation of being able to see what a room needs, and for bathroom remodels, this is super important.


Sometimes this means going smaller and sometimes it means going bigger, but just be sure you get a contractor and designer who understands what that actually means! As we said, Avocet Design Build pride ourselves on the ability to make your space exactly what you want and increase your return.


Going the Extra Step to Push it Over the Top


Don’t skimp on the small stuff, but above all, let your imagination run to give yourself the dream space you’ve always wanted! If something is inviting and looks good when people walk in, they will want to spend more. There is often an intangible feeling when you can tell someone went the extra mile. That’s where we come in, at Avocet Additions, our team will work with you to not only make a space you love but one your future buyers will as well! Contact us today for a free consultation today!
