What You Need to Consider When Buying Carlsbad Homes for Sale with Granny Flats

Real estate listings in Carlsbad

Are you looking for the perfect solution for your older loved ones who hate the idea of moving into a rest home?

A home with a granny flat might just be the answer you need!

Our grandparents and relatives are important. No matter what you do in life, who you become, where you live, who you are with —their role in our life is unquestionable. They nurture us and take care of us. That is why  we have to make sure they are provided with care and comfort as they age.

Carlsbad homes for sale with granny flats

A home with a granny flat is a perfect alternative for those who want their elderly relatives to live with them.

The home is called a granny flat because it is a popular way for families to accommodate their aging parents. It is also sometimes called a granny pod, mother-in-law unit, in-law apartment, bonus unit, casita, and carriage unit.

It is a self-contained living space usually situated on the grounds of a single-family home. It is normally designed for one or two persons and can be detached, or attached to the other home. It is known as an accessory apartment or accessory dwelling unit in the building industry.

A granny flat has many other uses aside from being a residence for older loved ones. It can be used as a home office, especially if you can’t work inside your main home.

It can also be used as temporary residence for adult children. Rather than waste money on rent, you can let your adult kids stay in your granny flat as they make arrangements to buy their own homes.

 

A granny flat can also be a source of extra income.

If no one is going to use it, you can rent it out and make extra cash.

If you want a home with a granny for your elderly relatives, here are several things that you should consider:

 

The budget

Just like with any other purchase, you need to start with your budget. How much are you willing to spend on a property with a granny flat? Determining your budget will save you time and energy because you don’t have to look at properties that are out of your range.

Homes for sale with granny flats in Carlsbad

Comfort

The comfort of your elderly relatives should be your major concern when looking for homes with granny flat in Carlsbad. You should know their needs and priorities. In fact, it is best if they are consulted before making a decision.

Ideally, you will want a home that is user-friendly. Some granny flats include grab handles in the bathroom, wider doorways for wheelchairs, or ramps at the entrance.

 

Size

Another thing you should consider when buying a Carlsbad home with granny flat is the size. Granny flats typically consist of one or two rooms and a small living room area.

Prospective buyers are usually advised to choose a smaller flat. The advantage of choosing a smaller flat is that it will be easier to maintain, both for the families as well as the elderly. We know that as we age, it becomes more difficult for us to maintain and clean our houses.

I believe taking care of one another is what makes family special. That is why I want to help you make the most of your time together. Let me help you find a living arrangement that suits everybody’s needs.

Reasons why you should choose a home with a guest house

Of all the residential units out there, you may be wondering why you ought to buy a home with a guest house. Look at our list below and know the advantages of living in this type of home.

1.  Keep your family close

A guest house or a granny flat is not only for grandparents. Extended family or adult children can also occupy this space. It’s a great way to keep the family close enough to be involved in one another’s lives. It also offers enough space to maintain peace among family members.

2.  Save on overhead expenses

If you are a grandparent, you can take care of your grandchildren with this set up while your adult children are at work. This is a great way to save money on childcare. It also opens doors in fostering a good relationship with the younger generation.

If you are someone who wants to take care of your parents, allowing them to live nearby makes this possible. It makes monitoring their condition and handling emergencies easier and faster. You will also save on costly adult accommodations.

3.  Work from your home office

If you’re used to going to the office everyday, convert your Carlsbad guest house into a home office. With today’s technology, doing and managing your business online is possible. You can even hire a team of virtual assistants and delegate some of the not-so-important tasks. With this opportunity, you can focus on growing your company without having to leave your property.

4.  Impress your guests

With a guest house on standby, you don’t need to worry about looking for a nice place for your guests.  You can create an extraordinary experience for them. Bond and connect with your guests during their stay. Make sure they have all they need as they retire at the casita.

5. Earn consistently and passively

If you think you can’t earn passively, look out the window and think again. Depending on the space you need, you have the option to have your guest house or the main house rented out. If you love your home and your community, give others the chance to do so as well by accepting tenants.

Regardless of your age, even if you’re in your golden years, you can always start anew. Buy a new house. Start a new project. Launch your own business. This can be made possible by having your very own Carlsbad home with a guest house.

Wait no more and make that fresh start!

Searching for Homes in Carlsbad CA and San Diego County

How can I search for homes in Carlsbad CA and other areas of San Diego County.

On the front page of this website is a basic home search site where you can choose the price range, bedrooms, bathrooms and city.Carlsbad Home Search BoxCarlsbad Home Search Box

 


Want more choices in your Carlsbad home search?

You can contact me and discuss your needs, wants and desires and then I can put together a much more detailed search which can include over 200 categories along with a map search.  This is going to be your most accurate, detailed search possible on any platform without exception.  The categories and the data come directly from the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) where all the San Diego County Real Estate agents are required to input their listings along with pictures and details.

The best way to accomplish your home search goals is to sit and go thru the search options together in front of a computer.  That way you will be able to see what the options and limitations are.  We may have to build several searches to reach your objective.  If you wanted a single story Carlsbad home but not many were available in your price range or area, we could do a second search for a two story home with a Master Bedroom on the entry level.  We might also do a third search for a 2 story home with a den or a bedroom on the entry level.  You will never be able to do this type of searching and detail any better than meeting with Dennis Smith.

I can send these homes to you in many different frequencies.  If you are searching for a home and are ready to make an offer as soon as a property that meets your needs, you need this information ASAP!!!  I can set it up that you receive your home search results within a few minutes of the listing agent hitting the “Save” button on the MLS.  You would know almost immediately if there was a new listing, a listing that dropped in price or fell out of escrow and returned to the market.  Do not need the information immediately?  I can send it to you daily, weekly, monthly or every “X” number of days.  You can also pick the time of day you will receive your information.

Once I have set this up, you will be able to view the homes you have found any time you want because the search results are always going to be accurate as of the time you log into your search results portal.

Here are the screen shots for a San Diego County Foreclosure home search as of January 2017. It will look the same for you except you will see it with your search results.

The building industry refers to it as an accessory apartment or accessory dwelling unit (ADU) but homeowners commonly call it a granny flat. Perhaps, the name was coined because it was mainly to accommodate aging parents and grandparents.  

You may see the following terms in listings: bonus unit, mother-in-law unit, carriage unit, casita, in-law apartment, granny pod or in Hawaii, they call it an ohana unit. They’re all different names but they all mean the same thing. They can be used for nannies or caregivers, for single members of the family, empty nesters, for grandparents in their 80s or 90s, for children moving back home, or in areas where they don’t ban renting of a granny flat, it can be a rental unit too. Carlsbad meets the zoning requirements for granny flats.

What does a granny flat look like?

A granny flat typically includes a sleeping area and a living area, a kitchen and its own separate entrance, but not all the time.

One of the designs is called a stealth in-law flat because it’s created from the existing rooms in the house. You can also convert your garage, reinvent your basement, or redo your attic or cottage. If you’re thinking of adding this homestead to your property, you don’t have to change the blueprint of your house, you just need to be inventive.
