Trulia Voices: I am closing on a home in 2wks and I am waiting on my appraisal. The home did once have a garage but has nowhttp://www.trulia.com/voices/Home_Buying/I_am_closing_on_a_home_in_wks_and_I_am_waiting_on_-127376been converted into a family room. How much do you think that will knock off of the value of the home?en-usAnswer by Rosaline Leishttp://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Wichita_KS-791841/http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Wichita_KS-791841/Most buyers want a garage. If the house square footage is more than the surrounding houses there should not be too mch of a price cut. But a garage is very important to most homeowners so they have someplace to put their stuff and a car. Good Luck hope you closed. Rosaline LeisThu, 08 Oct 2009 07:22:49 -0700
