Our lot is pretty small. Not as small as the new construction lots, but not really big enough for a bed/bath addition. I might consider consulting with an contractor to see if reconfiguring the bedrooms/baths and bumping them out a little to make room for another would make sense. Our house is a single level and if our homeowners assoc. would allow, we could consider building up – but my guess is that they won’t. I need to look into that. The timing is just bad. We really thought we had a few more years of her being on her own, but it just doesn’t look that way anymore. I think the amount of cash (60-90K) it would take to add-on vs sell at a loss would be about the same. Argh…aging parents!
