Did I miss the boat on building an ADU? Cheaper just to build an addition? Costs increasing faster than I can save money.
I have $250,000 set aside to build an ADU in southeastern Mass. I don’t want to take on any additional debt, so I’ve been trying to save. Investing in money markets has only got be further away from my goal, as increased building costs seem to be exceeding 5-10% annually.
To save some money, I have decided that I just want to build an addition onto my existing home instead. I plan to add a master bedroom, a guest bedroom and mudroom with a washer/dryer. Full basement connected to the existing basement. Will be able to cut out the cost of a kitchen, garage, separate driveway, etc.
Has anyone built an 800-900 sq ft addition with a bathroom lately? Interested to hear a rough idea of where pricing is at.
