This will vary based on your jurisdiction. Here's an 1,100 sq ft ADU we did in San Diego with a 456 sq ft attached garage. ua-cam.com/video/lBihfpAgEz8/v-deo.html The floor plans are available for download as well!
Thanks @coreyl2173 ! @RuizCaz, as Corey said, ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit, but folks may refer to them as granny flats, additional dwelling units, or even garage conversions. An ADU is a secondary independent living space on a residential property - you can convert an existing space (like the garage in this video) OR you can build it from scratch in your backyard!
It's not that type of video. It's a general overview for those of us in the very beginning of the process...like the deciding if this is what we even want part.
Based on garage conversion projects we've been involved with, the property increases in value. An ADU offers a lot more functionality and versatility than a garage.
@@Maxable This is a blanket statement that's not based on numbers (basically meaningless). You would only know if the property increases/loses value when it sellls.
@@eschrader The 35% is not based on real data, so it's purely fabrication. Without a garage, 99% of the homebuyers wouldn't even consider a home without a garage. More and more people are driving electric vehicles and need to charge their cars in the garage. In California where homes are easily over $1M, a lot of buyers are not even considering single car garage since a lot of them have 1 suv and 1 tesla. Without a garage, the property can only appeal to investor type of buyers.
Hey @Maxable , I wanted to know how you got such nice graphic drawings of the types of Garage Conversions at 2:00 into your video.
Hi! Our graphic designer made those.
Recorded horizontally:)
If building a 1200 sf detached adu how big can the garage for the adu be? Meaning there would be an 1200sf with a garage

Thank you, subscribed!!❤
"Do you need a permit to do a garage conversion?" Define "need" lol😂
You need permission from the city

How do ADU`s affect property taxes ?
We've got a video on that! ua-cam.com/video/Gn2J6cOcjvU/v-deo.htmlsi=lK9MizmG0T-s7aGE
Let's say the ADU costs you $200k. Your property tax will increase by 1-2% ($2000 to $4000) of that cost
@@victorpham4221that’s a lot…if you are in a cheaper living costs area and you should buy a small house.
@@victorpham4221if building the extension on top of the garage. But keeping the Same footprint, will increase the property tax?
What is an ADU? I can’t find google answers
Accessory Dwelling Unit. Essentially it's converting unused space, such as a garage, attic, or basement, into living space.

Want an estimate? Just do $200/sqft, and $250ft for up stairs.
Clickbait? While your video talks about many aspects of planning a conversion, it does not even try to get into the 'how'.

@@jej2371 Then the title shouldn't claim it is.
That isn't happening in my garage, which is below the living room. It *literally* supports my house.
They can do a lot with garage conversions that support the home.
If you take garage away, it depreciates the property as well. So net net not sure if garage conversion actually adds value.

@@basicallyhomes post some percentages on your research. She says a 35% increase, what is the depression percentage of no garage?

@@basicallyhomes guess I'm the 1% because that wouldn't bother me
