🏡 Could your home's “extra space” actually make it worth MORE to the right buyer?
That spare bedroom on the main floor. A finished basement with a separate entrance. A second kitchen or kitchenette. An in-law suite. Even a bonus room that could provide additional living space.
Those features are becoming increasingly valuable as more families look for homes where multiple generations can live under one roof.
And here's where it gets interesting:
📊 Multi-generational homes received 13.5% more online views than standard homes.
💰 Even when compared with similarly sized homes, they commanded about a 22% premium per square foot in the national data.
Why?
Because buyers looking for these features can't necessarily find them in every house.
If you're thinking about selling, don't underestimate the spaces in your home that may seem ordinary to you. To the right buyer, they could be exactly what makes YOUR house stand out.
