We are still in the house hunting process. As a first time buyer, one thing I noticed is the basement adding big value to the house, maybe 15%? One silly question: what's the benifit to have a basement, some answers from my coworkers:
1. keep junks
2. strong fundation
3. If pipe breaking, no need dig a hole at the floor.
Currently we are interested in one 1982 colonial house, 3000 sf with no basement. Big enough for a couple with a three years old boy. In fact, more than enough. So number one is not in the list any more, how about number 2 and 3? Some other things?
Thanks
