Would a double attached garage or in-law suite add more value to a home?

IMO, yes. An attached garage always adds more value. I don't know about an in law suite as that might only interest a few buyers.

Adding an attached garage would make your home more attractive to buyers. A in law suite adds more square footage. So I am going to say yes to both adding value to your home.

In my opinion any time you do an improvement to your home it adds alot of value.I think the garage is a better idea then the suite.

I just bought a house and I can say an inlaw suite would have been a major plus cause I don't need it for inlaws but I would have used it for a game room / den for having game nights and sports watching with friends without messing up the main house

Not all home improvements add value to a home when it comes to selling it. However, adding sq footage to a home, installing attached garage, updating kitchens and bathrooms will add value.

The garage. Also, make appointments for viewing and have bread baking to make the place smell like they want to live there. It works!

Look around your area. Do most homes have a dbl. attached? If yes, then get ya one. I would rather have a dbl. detached with covered walk or trellis. A suite may bump into zoning trouble. A true suite should have a full kitchen, bath, and separate entrance. Rental unit?

Your best bet is to talk to a real estate agent in your area. This can vary greatly from area to area.

Becky speaks words of wisdom! Find out what upgrades to your home will bring the highest return on investment. Get the advice of a reputable realter or real estate appraiser in your area. Good luck!

Updated Kitchens and Bathrooms bring in the most value for your money.

Becky has a great suggestion but if you are unable to find one who you feel comfortable speaking with then I would go view model homes in your area. This is a great way to see what builders are doing and what trends could help you upgrade your home for resale value. Pat is also right because kitchens and bathrooms sell a home. If you are in an area where there are younger families moving in, then you need to make your home appeal to that market. However, if you live in an area where everyone else on the block has a garage (as Tom andDave suggest), then that is what you want to do. You have to do a little research and this is easily done by checking to see what homes have sold and use sites like zillow and trulia. good luck in deciding.
