Earlier this month, a Zillow user in the Lees Summit Missouri area asked how adding a 4th bedroom would affect the value of his home. Question: We have a finished basement with full bath and full kitchen and own entry. Our house sits on 10 acres and is 3300 square feet. We can add  a fourth bedroom with egress doing the work ourselves for about $3000 and use a space that is unused. Will this add value? Team Gipple Response: Value can be expressed a couple different ways- A sheer increase in property value as reflected on an appraisal OR increased value in terms of the marketability of your home should you sell it.  Of course, an appraisal is very statistic-driven, looking at such features of a home as neighborhood sales data, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, finished square footage, et... 09/28/2011

Recently, a Zillow user in the Lees Summit MO area asked what steps are needed to get a home ready to sell. Question: I need advice from a seller agent about getting my house ready to sell.

A Zillow user, preparing to sell her home, recently inquired about finding the value of their real estate in the Lee's Summit, MO area. Question: We would like to know what our house is worth in this present market.  I'd like to get that online if possible.  Please advise.   Team Gipple Response:   You have several options: There are many online real estate sites that can give you an estimate of value.  I've found these sites, much like tax assessments, are based on a few data points such as sq footage, number of bedrooms, neighborhood sales data.  In the matter of my own home, I found the estimates to be extremely low. You could hire a local real estate appraiser.  They will establish market value of your home based on a very complete comparison of your home vs. similar homes that have... 09/21/2011
