Do you know what to look for when buying a ranch style home listing in SE Portland? There are a lot of things to consider when considering the value of a SE Portland ranch home. One that most people don’t think of is “Does it have a basement?”
Why does it matter if a Portland ranch style home listing has a basement or not? The main reason is square footage. Some homes only have a small basement, but others actually have a full basement that can be counted as square footage, increasing the value of the home. In some cases, they are built in such a way, that some people don’t even consider it a basement, but rather a 2 level ranch.
How old is the home? Have there been any improvements to the property? These are important questions as they can increase the value of the property far greater than what the tax records show the property to be. Many of these Portland ranch style homes listings have had bedrooms, bathrooms, and even full family rooms added which can dramatically increase the livability of the property and make it much more desirable to a buyer.
When you are looking to buy and older home in Portland, Oregon? One of the things to check is the sewer lines as many have been broken by tree roots over the years. This can be easily fixed, but it is just something to consider when buying older homes.
