[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely worth it to renovate the basement.  We just did that and it was very satisfying to gain additional space for much less than an addition.   [/quote]

Not the OP, but we have also been thinking about a basement remodel. A fair number of our neighbors have done this, but from talking to them, it doesn't sound like they really use the space as much as they imagined they would when they were in the planning process. Our basement is not a walkout and to be honest, I just don't like the feeling of not being able to look out the window. So while it sounds great to have an additional family room down there, I just don't know how much use it would actually get.

On the one hand, I feel as though we should finish it because so many other houses in our neighborhood have finished basements, but on the other hand, I'd hate to spend that much money for a space we would use only occasionally. Would it hurt us that much at resale not to have that space finished?[/quote]
