I sit and type this article in a finished basement/home-office. A couple years ago we re-painted the walls, updated the full bathroom and finished the floors with that cement etching paint stuff. Now it looks like a workout room/office and “counts” as additional square feet. One mistake the previous owners made was including a closet down here so now we have to count it as a bedroom, but that aside, the extra space is invaluable.
Basement remodels are one of the top projects you can do in your home that will provide significant return on investment or ROI. Lots of projects are valuable to you as the owner and may let you enjoy the home more while you are there. That does not mean that those projects will pay off when it comes time to sell.
