Not too much in my opinion. Often the sellers’ custom outdoor improvements are not so custom to the buyer, or the buyer may even find the improvements to be a liability such as a hot tub or pool.

Additional Features:
Essentially there are three types of suites you’ll find in most municipalities in greater Victoria; legal conforming suites (the best scenario); legal non-conforming (zoning for the lot allows for a secondary suite but there are no permits in place for the suite); and final non-legal (the zoning does not allow for a secondary suite which also makes it impossible to be conforming). When purchasing a property with a suite one should familiarize themselves with municipal bylaws and especially the risks that come with having a legal non-conforming or non-legal suite.
A big component of deciding whether to buy a fixer upper or turnkey rental property depends on your personal circumstances and lifestyle. A larger fixer upper may not be an ideal investment property for someone living out of town or with a busy work schedule; however, it may work well for a trades person or semi-retired individual.
Does it make sense that it costs the same amount to sell a home as it costs to frame the home? As a REALTOR® it doesn’t really make sense to me, does it make sense to you?

Raw numbers indicate that more than 90% of the time a buyer’s REALTOR® represents the buyer on a purchase; therefore, why are many sellers paying the listing REALTOR® half of the commission if numbers show the REALTORS® listing very rarely actually sell the property themselves? Food for thought.
