New Year, New ADU: Start the Year With More Space

A new year brings fresh goals, new priorities, and a chance to plan ahead. For many Phoenix homeowners, one goal rises to the top every January: more space. Whether it’s room for family, flexibility for the future, or a smarter way to use your property, an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) can be the perfect solution.

At IGFI Construction, we’re seeing more homeowners start the year by planning ADUs—and for good reason. Here’s why the new year is the ideal time to take the first step.

Why ADUs Are the Smart Way to Add Space

An ADU is a fully functional living space built on your property. It can be detached, attached, or converted from an existing structure like a garage. Unlike traditional additions, ADUs offer flexibility that adapts to your life as it changes.

Homeowners are using ADUs for:

• Parents or in-laws who want independence but proximity

• Adult children returning home

• Long-term guests

• Private work-from-home spaces

• Rental income or future resale value

It’s more than extra square footage — it’s purpose-built space.

ADUs Support Multi-Generational Living

Families change, and homes need to keep up. ADUs are one of the best ways to support multi-generational living without sacrificing privacy.

An ADU allows:

• Loved ones to live independently

• Shared support without shared walls

• Flexibility as needs evolve over time

It’s a long-term solution that keeps families connected while respecting personal space.

A Strong Investment in Your Property

Beyond lifestyle benefits, ADUs add real value. In the Phoenix area, zoning updates and increased demand for flexible housing options have made ADUs an attractive investment.

Benefits include:

• Increased property value

• Long-term rental potential

• More usable square footage

• Greater appeal to future buyers

Even if you don’t plan to rent, the flexibility alone makes an ADU a smart addition.

Make This the Year You Add Space

A new year is the perfect time to invest in a home that works better for your life today — and tomorrow. If you’ve been thinking about adding space, supporting family, or planning for the future, an ADU could be the answer.

New year. New possibilities. New ADU.
