94% of homeowners say their ADU met or exceeded expectations.
But here’s the part that’s more interesting: The longer people own their ADU… the more valuable it feels.
In our data:
• 90% of recent builds met or exceeded expectations
• 100% of owners 2+ years out said the same
• The share who said it “far exceeded” expectations more than doubled over time
So what’s happening?
Rental income compounds. Property values rise. Flexibility becomes more useful than expected.
The real return of an ADU shows up after the project is done.
