An attached garage can add a significant amount of home value when it comes to resale, but how much does an attached garage add home value?<\/strong> That depends on a number of variables, but an attached garage adds home value, both for resale and when it comes to enjoying your home. Attached garages are a great benefit, and there\u2019s a reason they cost a bit more to build. However, if you\u2019re looking to increase your home value from the beginning of a build, choosing an attached garage is a great way to add home value.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does an Attached Garage Add Home Value?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The short answer is, yes, an attached garage adds home value<\/strong>. Attached garages add home value in multiple ways, from how much you can get for your house in a resale, as well as the quality of life benefits from having an attached garage. The additional costs of building an attached garage home are often met in resale value, making them a wise investment. The cost of the garage in an attached garage home also costs, on average, less than the cost of building a detached garage.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

How Does An Attached Garage Add Home Value?<\/b><\/h2>\n

An attached garage can add value to your home in the following ways:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Resale Value<\/span><\/h3>\n

An attached garage can increase a home\u2019s resale value by $20,000 to $35,000<\/strong>. Attached garage homes are also often a requirement of buyers looking to purchase a resale home.

5. Easier Access To Vehicles<\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the best benefits of an attached garage is regarding vehicles. Because your garage is attached to your home, you don\u2019t have to go outside to get into your vehicle. You also no longer have to brush snow off your vehicle or scrape ice off the windshield. Your vehicle\u2019s battery is also protected as it\u2019s not out in the wind or cold, so the vehicle temperature won\u2019t drop as low. All in, an attached garage makes things much easier for your vehicles!<\/span><\/p>\n

What Impacts the Increased Home Value Of An Attached Garage?<\/b><\/h2>\n

An attached garage can add value to your home in the following ways:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Size Of The Attached Garage<\/span><\/h3>\n

The most obvious influence of how much home value an attached garage adds is in the size of the garage<\/strong>. The larger the garage, the more value that is added to your home. Two door garages are pretty standard for single family homes, but a three car garage will add a ton of value if your lot is zoned for it. Three car garages offer either space for three cars, or more commonly, two cars as well as a work\/storage space.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Better Heating<\/span><\/h3>\n

If your attached garage is heated, this will often increase your home value<\/strong>. Heated garages add luxury and comfort to your home, and make going in and out of your garage a lot easier in the winter. Heated garages are also fantastic for your vehicle in the winter, or whenever you need to work out in your garage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Finishes<\/span><\/h3>\n

If your garage is finished, this can also increase your home\u2019s value<\/strong>. Having finished drywall, proper lighting, nice shelving, and a finished ceiling adds elegance and class to the look of your garage, and as such it often increases a home\u2019s value in resale. Finished garages require less work if they want to be transitioned to a work space or private getaway, rather than a place to park cars, so they will often appeal to buyers.<\/span><\/p>\n
