About this term

Garage type and capacity significantly affect property value. A two-car attached garage is standard in most markets, while a three-car garage or heated garage commands premium prices. Detached garages are less desirable than attached garages but still add value. Garage quality, condition, and functionality should be evaluated during the inspection process.

Pro Tip

If you have multiple vehicles, prioritize a two-car or larger garage. Garage capacity is expensive to add later.

Example

The home featured a two-car attached garage with an automatic door opener and storage shelving, which was comparable to other homes in the area.
