Today's question is:

"Should I remodel an existing space or add a new living space?"

 Answer

Uh, oftentimes this question is gonna pertain to price. So adding new square footage to the house is going to be more expensive than just changing around the space inside of a house. There's a lot more that goes into an ADU or an addition, which typically steers customers away from unless that's what they're directly looking to do.

Summary

The decision often pertains to price, as adding new square footage (like an ADU or addition) is significantly more expensive than just changing around the existing space inside the house.
