This decision increased our budget from $15K to $45K, but it turned out to be a wise investment.The increased budget allowed us to enhance the property's overall value significantly, and we were able to sell it for a much higher price than initially anticipated.

Even in HCOL areas, adding an ADU typically does not make sense because developing a single small unit is the most expensive residential development that exists.Adding an ADU is a lot of work (probably more than a brrrr but with worse return), has poor financing options, typically adds less value than the cost of the addition, and detracts something from the primary structure even if it is just yard and privacy.Good luck
