High Energy Efficient Homes.
An ADU is a smaller, independent residential dwelling unit located on the same lot as a detached single- family home. Also known as secondary suites, accessory apartments, and granny flats, our ADUs are detached of existing homes, a new stand alone “accessory” structure.
Our units offer an alternative to traditional residential housing in terms of rentals and options for seniors to stay near family as they age, additional office or recreational space.
Advantages
Property Value Increase
An ADU does add value to your property extending the living area of your property. Potential buyers will see your ADU as an asset; they may want to use it as a secondary dwelling unit, a home office, or a guest house for visitors and family.
Land Conservation
Adding an ADU to your existing property places another housing unit on the market – without the need for additional land. Plus, the smaller sizes of ADUs are a more sustainable housing option for some people than larger single-family residences.
Independence
Detached ADUs provide additional independence for the residents than attached ADUs. Renters or service providers can feel like they have their own place, with privacy from the other residence. For elderly family members, an ADU allows you to give them a greater amount of independence than they would have in a retirement community/assisted living community/nursing home.
Rental Unit to Earn Passive Income
ADUs typically have their own entrance, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom so you can rent them as separate living spaces for tenants and earn extra cash from the time they spend in it with you. This is perfect if either monthly or short-term rental payments are more convenient for both parties involved and give renters a place that feels like home without having to commit to a long-term lease agreement.
Family & Guests Visiting from Out of Town
If you love hosting friends and family, but your home can't accommodate them, an ADU is a perfect solution. You will have privacy while they stay with a comfortable bed to sleep on, as well as their own space if desired for some alone time during their visit.
The Ultimate Home Office or Workout Space
If you live in an urban area and work from home, an ADU can be the perfect space for a home office. Whether it's to meditate or teach yoga classes or accommodate clients as part of their therapy session, an ADU is an ideal solution! The privacy makes this place feel like a deserted island and creates an aura of peacefulness and tranquility.

ADUs Market Data
According to a national study released by Freddie Mac, ADUs are growing in popularity. Nearly 70,000 properties with ADUs were sold in 2019 (the latest year that such statistics are available) representing 4.9% of total homes sold via the MLS, compared with just 8,000 properties with ADUs or 1.1% in 2000. Demand for ADUs is highest in California, Georgia, and Florida.
ADUs are not cheap to build, however. The average cost of an ADU is $180,000, typically about $260 per square foot. That number could stretch much higher depending on where you live. For example, an ADU could cost anywhere between $149,000 and $400,000 in the San Francisco Bay Area, and in Austin, Texas, an ADU can cost $300,000, the study shows.
ADUs are growing at a rate of 9% or 100,000 per year. ADU rentals are up: 8,000 ADUs were leased in 2019, up from less than 1,000 in 2000. Properties that have one are sought after. In the largest cities, a home with an ADU is priced 35% higher, on average, than a home without one.
There are about 1.4 million homes with an ADU in the U.S. as of 2019. The states with the highest concentration of sales listings with ADUs are California, Florida, Texas, and Georgia.
ADU sales are up: 70,000 properties with ADUs were sold in 2019 (4.2% of total homes sold on the MLS), compared to 8,000 properties with ADUs (1.1%) sold in 2000.
ADU listings are up: Between 2009 and 2018, the number of ADUs listed for the first time (including for-sale and for-rent units) grew by an average of 8.6% year-over-year.
