Uncommon Knowledge

– Adding a Pool. Are you considering adding a pool to your property?
W

The value it adds to your home depends on the market. While this may seem like a generic answer, it’s important to consider how the addition or removal of a feature like a pool can impact your property’s value.

If you’re thinking about an in-ground pool, it’s typically more expensive to install and maintain than an above-ground pool. Keep in mind that if your home is in an HOA with a community pool, there may be a fee associated with maintaining it. In some markets where few homeowners have their own pool and the community pool isn’t heavily used, having two pools to maintain may negatively impact your property’s value.

That being said, every market is different, and in some cases, adding an in-ground pool can substantially increase your property’s value. It’s important to get an appraisal before making any significant changes to your property. This can help you understand how much value you’ll be adding and whether it’s worth the investment.

– Rental price increase. Are you a landlord thinking of increasing your rental rates??

It’s important to understand how this can impact the value of your investment property.

There are two main ways to value investment properties: the Income Approach and the Sales Comparison Approach. While increasing your rental rates can increase your profits, it doesn’t necessarily increase the value of your property. Value is based on the market, and an appraiser will use market analysis to determine the market rent for your property. Renting above the market rent may increase your profits, but it doesn’t necessarily increase the value of your property.

If the market consists of primarily owner-occupied properties, the appraiser may use the Sales Comparison Approach to determine its value. This is the typical approach appraisers use when not considering investment income or the cost to construct in an area with limited comparable sales.

Before you set your rental rates, it’s a good idea to get an appraisal in order to determine the market rent and market value for your property, as well as assist in estimating ROI (Return on Investment). With this information, you can set a rental rate that’s competitive with the market and ensures that you’re getting a fair return on your investment.
