One additional bedroom can make all the difference if you need extra space in your home. You might use an add-on for additional privacy or turn it into a home office.\u00a0 If you need the added space, the cost and time involved in renovating your home may be worthwhile, considering that you may recoup 53% to 75% of the costs.<\/p>\n

To help you understand how much a bedroom addition might add to the value of your home, we spoke with the experts: top-selling real estate agent Lily Moore<\/a> of Fort Worth, Texas; appraisers Mason Spurgeon<\/a> of Missouri and Diana Benson<\/a> of Arizona; and Mark Poulton of TraVek<\/a>, a design-builder in the Phoenix area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe number of bedrooms has a great impact on the sales price for smaller homes if your bedroom addition adds square footage,\u201d advises Moore. That\u2019s a good chunk of change! However, determining the added value for your specific project requires digging into the specifics, including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • how the new bedroom impacts your home\u2019s layout<\/li>\n
  • whether the new bedroom adds square footage<\/li>\n
  • how many bedrooms are common in the homes in your neighborhood<\/li>\n
  • what local buyers are looking for<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Let\u2019s explore why these factors matter and how to account for the value-add of a bedroom in your market before you embark on this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
