Question regarding the value of walkout basements:

Jim Basquette answered:
Bill,
It is difficult to give an accurate value without seeing the home and checking comps, but obviously the walkout adds value, the better finishes adds value and the extra rooms add value. The bedroom with no windows is not a 'legal' bedroom, you must have egress. The difference in the finishes, finished square footage, price ramge of the home and location would all make a difference.

If you are planning to add the finished basement, this would be helpful to know. If you already have a finished basement and are selling, you just need to know the market value of your home. Have your Realtor determine that for you and make any necessary adjustments to the comps. If you don't have a Realtor, you can choose one from the group that will answer this question ...including me ;~)
