Garage Values…

I’ve been working on some statistics for valuing additional garages.  It is tough.  They are a specialized addition, not unlike equestrian facilities, pool or tennis courts are for other families…

ROD WORKS SHOP

Appraisers have been all over the map, but for the last couple of years they have consistently under-valued enthusiast garages.  I have seen $50k-$70k garages valued under $10k during the appraisal process.

A large part of that is due to the fact that actual market value numbers are seldom worked up for specialty garages.  The buyers see the additional value, and of course the sellers see the additional value.  But too often, the appraisal gets in the way of completing the sale.

As a real estate agent, I can NOT do appraisals, but I can provide limited guidance to appraisers to help them see the additional value that should be added for an enthusiast garage.

For a recent property, I worked up an area wide study of similar garages.  The results were a little surprising.  Keep in mind, these were specific to the type of garage I was trying to find comps for… in this case, the house had an attached, over-sized 2 car garage and a detached VERY over-sized workshop garage (around 900square feet).  I controlled price range to be similar to the subject home.  Looking for direct comps was fruitless, but I was able to find other homes with detached garages, generally in the 500sf range.  In each case, there was only one home with the bonus garage.  So, I looked for comparable homes without the bonus garage to compare the difference in prices.

  • Subdivision 1 – Average difference was $23,300.
  • Subdivision 2 – Average difference was $10,500.
  • Subdivision 3 – Average difference was  $53,615.

In the case of subdivision 2, there were only two houses, one with and one without the big garage.  The house without the big garage had been fully updated with a new kitchen, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, upgraded bathrooms, etc.  The house with the garage had laminate counters, old appliances and had not been updated for at least 15 or 20 years of its 33 year life.  That would lead me to believe that the market values of the homes was actually considerably wider than it first looks.  And, I believe the opposite to be true of Subdivision 3… the Garage Home was considerable nicer than the non-garage comparables.

However, this shows pretty solidly that the additional garage is more likely worth $20k-$30k, rather than the $5k-$10k that many appraisers will initially allow for the structure.  That also puts it in line with Remodeling Magazine’s annual Cost vs Value study garage data.  That puts the mid-range garage cost at around $46k while the value at sale is around $30k.

Appraisals are great when you are looking at a cookie cutter home.  Those are easy… it’s when the mold is a little different that things get sticky.  Of course… you need an agent that is willing to invest the time to fight a low appraisal.  Even as a buyer, if the appraisal doesn’t come back at a price the seller can work with, you won’t be able to get financing…  Give Lane a call.

Lane on AREF Radio

Last week I was a guest on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio.  We actually recorded the podcast a few weeks ago… it was a lot of fun.  In my segment we talked about what guys really want in a garage.  Take a listen… let me know what you think.  I’d love to get your feedback.

What Kind of Garage Do YOU Want?

The ultimate garage means radically different things to different people.  What does it mean to you?  I’d love YOUR feedback.

Let’s Talk Garages…

Making a cool garage is pretty easy… there are only a few steps to take, and most of them aren’t that expensive… unless you are shooting for a display case for your cars.  Those can get pretty pricey.
Watch the video and let me know what you think.

Unique Homes?

french quarter architecture

french quarter architecture (Photo credit: abundantc)

Everybody likes unique homes… maybe not the same unique homes, but homes that are unique to their needs and desires.  But, when it’s time to move, a unique home can be a REAL challenge to sell.  In effect, it takes finding someone else that sees the same value in the property in order complete a sale where everyone leaves the closing table with a smile.

Financing a unique home can ALSO be a challenge.  Now, you don’t just need to find a buyer that has similar needs and desires for their home, but the appraiser needs to be able to justify it through the use of comparable properties.  Comparable properties might be pretty slim… since the very definition of “unique home” would seem to preclude comparable properties.

What makes a “unique home”?

  • Unusual interior features… maybe a 30 seat movie theater, 10 car garage, recording studio or maybe even a smaller house with a commercial grade kitchen.
  • Architecturally distinct… this can be something as “mundane” as a house that doesn’t fit the character of nearby homes.  A modern, minimalist home in a neighborhood of traditional homes would be unique.
  • Falling Water

    Falling Water (Photo credit: spike55151)

    Different type of lot… like a 10 acre lot tucked into a neighborhood with ½ acre lots, or a ¾ acre lot in an area loaded with 20 acre mini-farms.

  • Homes with historical significance… whether we are talking about a house like “Falling Water” (famous Frank Lloyd Wright design) or the Lalaurie Mansion (a famous home in the French Quarter of New Orleans, purchased a few years ago by Nicholas Cage) or even a home owned by a notable person from history.
  • VERY different homes… a house built to look like a shoe, or an earth-shelter home.  Lots of very high end homes fall into this, just because of the cost and limited market for them.

Selling a unique home involves a lot of challenges, both for the sellers AND for their real estate agent.

  • They may take a substantially longer time to sell than other homes.  They need to have the right buyer… and they have a much smaller buyer pool because of their unique attributes.
  • English: Thomas Jefferson's Rotunda at the Uni...

    Image via Wikipedia

    The sellers will often end up selling for much less than they originally hoped… even if they find the “perfect buyer” because of the problems that can arise during the appraisal and financing processes.

  • In some cases, especially homes with historical significance, there might be substantial restrictions on the buyers (can you imagine what would happen if someone bought Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s home in Virginia, and then bull-dozed it because they liked the lot?)
  • The marketing costs and effort need to be much higher in order to have a good outcome.

There is a saying in real estate… Price fixes everything… but there are limits to that.  In fact, over the last few years we have actually seen properties that couldn’t be GIVEN away.  In Detroit, there were homes that were livable (not nice, but not caving in, either) that failed to sell for $100.  The value of the underlying land was less than the cost of removing the house… and there was no demand for the house.  The parallel in unique homes is that there might not be a noticable local demand for a house with that particular style.  To sell a specialized home to a general buyer often means that the unique features are completely discounted, or may even be a liability.

So, “price fixes everything” may actually not apply in the case of some unique homes.  Marketing might also not be able to overcome some obstacles.  However, to get the best outcome, a combination of aggressive marketing, realistic pricing, and a realistic timetable are the solutions.

I have dealt with several unique properties… garage homes being the most predominant.  The require a different type of service than many real estate agents are willing to provide.  There is a substantial portion of the real estate community that “plays a numbers game” when it comes to listings.  They figure that by listing a lot of properties, they will get a percentage that sell.  By lowering their marketing costs and concentrating on funneling more into the listing end of the equation, they will get more sales on the closing end of the equation.  They are much less interested in changing the equation to get a higher percentage fo the properties sold… and they have little patience for dealing with interesting and unique properties.

If you have an interesting property that you want to sell… or you are looking for an interesting property… around Atlanta, especially in Gwinnett County and around Lake Lanier, give me a call.
