An ADU may act as both a guest living space and revenue source. You can use ADU for when family visit and rent it out for the rest of the year as an AirBnB.
An ADU can add value to your home. The selling price of a home is largely dependent on location and square footage, and an ADU will increase the latter.
Having a usable garage is a major selling point in most homes. If resale value is your sole concern, sacrificing the garage for extra square footage is not a good idea.
An experienced Realtor is best when considering a home with an ADU. If you are weighing the pros and cons of this option in Colorado, contact Brenda Kellogg Meyer with Exit Realty.
