We got a good deal on one of our houses because they missed a course and half the basement had a low ceiling. We saved about $10 thousand.
And the damn town assessors really stink sometimes. They do their square ft stuff....and forget the cost of the custom made cupboards...or don't count the Marble floors...imported from Italy. etc etc etc....
That’s why I’m always leery of upgrades, you never get that money back, so if you do it, do it because you enjoy it, and not because you think it will increase the value of the house, it won’t.
