When you construct an accessory dwelling unit at your property, it is bound to have a significant impact on the overall valuation of your property in a positive way. The prices shoot up northwards in a very short span of time. It is because a majority of prospective homebuyers are willing to pay the desired amount or price for a property that has an extra amount of square footage or space in-built in it, in the form of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). This is required when a family is big in size and there’s always a scope of future growth. So, precisely thinking about the scalability aspect, an existing property or home with an ADU fetches the desired price, when the homeowner thinks of selling it. Average US statistics from the real estate and property market reveals that residences with newly constructed ADUs are able to get almost 45-50% over the existing valuation of a property. This is something great, if you’re thinking about earning a fair margin by selling your old house, and thereafter investing in a new property elsewhere. In fact, this is what a majority of homeowners in California are doing, for getting a higher resale value for their homes.
Although cities and counties are mandated to permit ADUs and JADUs, they are not required to adopt ADU and JADU ordinances. The bottomline is, you must have a permit from the local government authorities for starting any ADU construction work on your property.
An Accessory Dwelling Unit, also known as a granny flat or in-law suite, is a living unit that may be as small as 500 sq. ft. and up to 1200 sq. ft. in size. An ADU is an accessory living unit built on a single-family or multifamily residential building, wherever such developments are permitted.
A JADU which is permitted to approximately 500 sq. ft. in size can have a small food preparation area, including a sink or a wash basin, but it is NOT allowed to have a private washroom or a bathroom.
