New construction houses are being built on lots the size of postage stamps.  Those houses are so close together that you can smell the milk going sour in the refrigerator next door.

    Re-sale houses are on 1/3 acre to 1/2 acre lots.  Sell them on the yard!

we list any and all properties.... most have something special....

Very few houses out here have them.  I had one listing with a 1+1 studio attached to the far side of the garage from the house.  Actually made it harder to sell as it was technically a 5br but with one of them being the studio.  Didn't work for people actually needing a fifth bedroom.  Eventually called it a 4br with an additional studio and that helped.

If I used Granny Flats or Man Cave then please put me out of my misery.

No

If the seller is ready, willing and able I will list and sell their property.

Yes, I just closed a Granny Flat listing yesterday. With John DL Arendsen 's help, hopefully soon we'll be adding ADU's to the mix out here in Cali.

The push right now is for ADU's as the state has pushed high density on us for all new development. 

Any property with "accessory housing" was very in-demand.

Outdoor living options are important.

More buyers are looking for lots large enough to add a granny flat. I've sold a few homes with 'she sheds' and a few homes that had large detached garages that had been turned into separate living spaces. It's far more important to buyers now than it's ever been here in Charotte.

*This new construction community offered detached garages with living quarters above. Buyer has parents who are now living in the detached space.

Extra sizzle features would include just about any nice hardscaping - an outdoor fireplace, etc. 

Waterfront and Wooded Acreage are the big extras we like to see.

I echo what Ryan Huggins - Thousand Oaks, CA said.  I do see many converted garages used for extra living space ... mostly done without permits.

Love the "She Sheds" Andrew Mooers | 207.532.6573 I'm going to add that one to my CREST BACKYARD HOMES vernacular. I belong to a couple of investors groups and ADU's are becoming a central focus for investors looking to add additional revenue streams to their rental inventories. So yes they are becomig evermore pervasive in SoCal. Especially under the new State mandate.

No, it's pretty rare. Given the weather, many people crave outdoor living and entertaining space, and an outdoor kitchen is a bonus. We are seeing more interest in ADUs.

The discussion I'd certainly "here" the reality is less in my opinion.  Zoning,etc.

Sizzle is spelled OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE in Florida.

Giant screened enclosure with what is in essence a 2nd family room, outdoors complete with fireplace, entertainment electronics, man-kitchen and the essential fire feature behind the pool. 

yes ADUS or structures that could become ADUs are very desireable in Austin

Gabe Sanders nailed this one!

Thanks for sharing 

Yes

In my "condo" world it does not exist.

That looks to be a desperation move on the agent

In 20 years in Charlotte I've yet to sell a granny flat, a she shed, a man cave. Bonus rooms can be turned into man caves. But at the end of the day, I haven't heard that term or she shed used here in several years. Most people here assume a home will have a deck or patio. Most lots are too small to accommodate auxiliary structures, assuming the HOA will even allow them.

Andrew,

I have not seen many.  Califonia is in affluence when it comes to rules and zoning.  A

Yes to all of the above I think hugely popular right now are Master Bedroom Suites Like this one I Just Sold 

5456 Broadmoor St
Alexandria Va 

Has an entire extra floor added that became the Master Bedroom Suite

The man cave is a big seller now.

I would

Andrew Mooers | 207.532.6573 - resales in the communities are typical homes that I sell.

Not too common here! Or, I lead a sheltered life!
