Absolutely! Adding a sunroom to your home increases the square footage of livable space, which adds personal value for you and your family. But did you know that, according to the National Association of Realtors, adding a sunroom to your home can make it easier to sell?
For most homeowners, the decision to embark on a home renovation project comes down to two questions:
1) How will it benefit the family now? and
2) Will it increase my home value when it’s time to sell?
Let’s take a look at both questions and the benefits of each of them.
How Will a Sunroom Increase Value Now?
The obvious intrinsic – or personal – value of adding a sunroom is the amount enjoyment additional living space brings.
Sunrooms are versatile and can be adapted to meet almost every need. Adding sunroom to an open floor plan is perfect for large family gatherings or hosting parties. A sunroom addition on its own can give parents a space away from kids and clutter, a quiet reading room, an office, or a place for the kids to get away from mom and dad.
There are other benefits, as well. Sunrooms are a great way to “bring the outdoors in.” Large windows provide an abundance of natural light and a view of nature and the landscape without having to battle bugs and pests. They also provide, in my opinion, the best way to enjoy a Bucks County winter – admiring the scenery while warm inside with a hot cup of coffee.
Will a Sunroom Increase My Real Estate Value?
Additional square footage alone increases the real estate value of a house. But when it comes to marketing your home, sunrooms are a big selling point because they add curb appeal and buying excitement. Plus, sunrooms make your home stand out above all of the other houses the buyers have visited. Memorable houses sell faster and can demand more at the time of resale.
Sunrooms Are Worth It
The best part about a sunroom addition is that you reap the benefits immediately as you enjoy it with your family, and down the line when you go to sell your home.
