How much more is a basement worth on the cost of a house?

Question

I want to buy a 3 bedroom ranch house with an unfinished basement, attached garage and a covered concrete slab for a front porch. I would like to have 3 bedrooms, hardwood floors and an open floor plan. I also would like to have it built in the 1960 or 1950 time area because the houses seem like they
are more sturdy. I dont mind putting in new windows and doors.
What do you think my chances are? Does this sound like too much to throw at a realtor?
Is a basement too much to ask for?

Answer 1

It really depends on what part of the country you are in.
In the South and West basements are rare, and having one does increase the value of the house.

Answer 2

there is not any set answer, because it might remember on, finished, no longer finished. the priority is, basement finishes are available in would tiers of high quality of end. A basement this is finished to the degree of the main residing section would be a million/2 the fee of the top point, GLA adjustment has statistically been desperate to selection between a million/4 to a million/2 of the alternative fee/squarefeet (the adjustment has a tendency larger as GLA decreases or if the GLA adjustment is $40/sf then the basement would be adjusted at $20/sf for finished. Basement and GLA is often calculated separate and basements are in no way calculated into the gross residing section. I value unfinished basements between $5-$10 consistent with sq. foot based on the peak of the ceiling.
