But I predict higher housing prices to account for the now unknown buyer side. 

Considering the potential for unexpected costs, especially with the unpermitted addition and the need for significant updates like roofing and windows, the profit margin seems tight.IDK, the significant dip into your savings for a project with many unknowns could strain your safety net.
