Every buyer looking at a property with room on the lot asks the same two questions: can I add a unit here, and what would it cost? Most listings leave them guessing. On the homes I list, I can answer both in writing before an offer is ever written.
The feasibility report establishes what the lot will actually carry: whether an additional unit is allowed, at what size, and where it could sit once setbacks, utilities and your jurisdiction's rules are accounted for.
Alongside it comes a written bid from A+ Construction & Remodeling to build that unit. Not a rough figure, a real bid, from the licensed builder who would do the work.
An investment buyer looking at your property wants to know what else they can do with it. Give them that answer up front and your property is an easier decision than the one down the street.
Whether you are selling a single-family rental or a multi-unit property, showing what can be built on it is something a buyer wants to know, and will pay for. On a house, that is the additional unit. On a multi-unit property, it is how many more the lot will carry.
Investment buyers are always looking to grow and get the most out of their money, and that comes with a lot of questions about a property they are looking at. Answering those up front gives them the confidence to move forward. For you, that means more offers, less negotiating, and less time in escrow.
A duplex with room for two more units and a bid ready to go is suddenly worth a look to someone shopping for a fourplex. A single-family rental with a bid for an additional unit becomes an option for a buyer who wants two homes on one lot, and who would otherwise have scrolled straight past your listing.
Ordinary homes benefit from this just as much, because two very different kinds of buyer are looking for the same thing.
Parents moving in, an adult child staying local, or somewhere for a visiting family to stay. Plenty of buyers are specifically hunting for a house they can add to, and most cannot tell from a listing whether a given property allows it.
An owner-occupied buyer who can rent a second unit is looking at a different monthly payment than one who cannot. That changes what they can afford to pay for your house.
Not every investor is buying apartment buildings. A single-family home that will carry an ADU is a standard investor target, and your listing is competing for them as well.
Against a comparable house with no documentation, yours is the one where the buyer can see exactly what is possible and what it costs. That is a reason to choose it.
The feasibility report and bid are the starting point. Depending on what suits the sale, it can go considerably further.
What the lot will carry, at what size, and under which rules. The question every interested buyer has, answered.
Included on my listingsA real bid from A+ Construction & Remodeling to build the unit, so the cost is a number rather than a guess.
From the licensed builderWhere it is worth going further, the unit gets drawn, so a buyer can see what would actually be built.
OptionalTaken all the way through plan check, the property can be listed with permits approved and ready for the buyer to pick up and build.
The strongest versionAny agent can tell you the lot might allow something. Getting to a feasibility report, a real bid, and approved permits takes a licensed broker who knows the ADU rules in your jurisdiction and a licensed builder who will put a price on the work. Everywhere else, that is two companies, two schedules, and a referral in the middle.
Here it is one call. I am a licensed broker, and I work directly with A+ Construction & Remodeling, who have built in this region since 1997. Nobody hands your listing back and forth, nothing gets lost between them, and it costs you nothing on a property I list.
Send me the address. I'll tell you what it's worth, whether another unit is possible, and what it would cost to build, before you decide anything.
