Charlie Johnson explains how accessory dwelling units (ADUs) actually translate into value.
– ADU = a permitted, self-contained living unit on the same lot (sleeping, cooking, sanitation, and independent access)
– Market demand matters: some areas pay a strong premium; others, only modest lift
– Permits & conformity: code-compliant (and where required, separately metered) units typically contribute; unpermitted or non-conforming spaces can be ignored—or treated as a risk
– How appraisers handle ADUs: look for closed sales with comparable ADUs; adjust for size, quality, privacy, and functionality
– Documentation wins: permits, plans, utility setup, photos, and (when applicable) rental history help support value
