FACTORS AFFECTING ADU COST

PERKS OF BUILDING AN ADU

Checking the average rent prices in your area may be beneficial to ensure that the rental fees you collect can serve as a great return on your investment.

Increased Property Value

Having ADUs became popular as they tend to add value to properties, making it better for property appraisals when homeowners choose to sell the property. Homeowners shall still consult with real estate professionals to know how much value an ADU could bring to the premises.

Unseparated Families

In residential areas across California, households are commonly split to fit budget constraints. Some members are forced to live in affordable within-state or out-of-state neighborhoods However, as the adoption of ADU housing grows and local jurisdictions promote ADUs, families no longer have to be separated.

Freedom To Live & Move

Despite being on the same premises as a single-family or multi-family home, an ADU shall have its own permanent and independent provisions for living. Residents of accessory dwelling units have their own kitchen, sleeping quarters, and other amenities, so they have full freedom to live comfortably.
