As @Bill S. said "Basement square footage is not near as valuable as at or above grade square footage"Many times we will not list a finished basement or take pictures of it for the MLS.

I am not sure how much I have saved from having very limited turnover but I know it is more than the few thousand dollars I may have saved by going with a 'cheaper' home by a provider who doesn't get the big picture.
