Ok, I couldn't attach it to the post above so here it is.

Free registration at the forum removes this block.I've got a dilemma.... I have a 2500sf home in Scottsdale,AZ. It's currently 3br, 2ba. I have enough space to cram in probably another 1000sf on my lot and still have a huge backyard.
Homes in the area are selling for around $220/sf. So my house is worth $550,000 right now. The area does support home prices up to $850k.
Some here is my dilemma on what to build. Give the assumption that every option costs the same to build what do you think would give you the best return?
- Separate detached guest house (1bd/1ba/sm. kitchen) w/carport - 400sf
- Standard addition, 2 bedroom, jack/jill bath, hometheater room - 650sf
- Standard addition, 2 smaller br, jack/jill bath, ht room, 2 car garage - 550sf
- Go big, add 1000sf
BTW, I'm estimating about $100/sf to build the additions, no fancy upgrades.
I would love to build just a garage now. However, once that is built, it would block construction access to the back of it. I'd probably have to demolish the new garage to build the addition. So... I'm gonna build it all at the same time.
I attached a new picture below.
Red is the new garage
Blue is room addition
Brown is a patio
