View ALL MLS Homes For Sale in Joplin with a Basement!!
First and foremost, a basement is property-tax-free(!) extra space, whether for living, play/exercise, storage, and/or utilities. Only major renovations to a basement will up property value for tax purposes, but even then it is not calculated in living area; which is what you want when you're not selling since it keeps taxes down. Basements are also good for access to wiring, ducts, plumbing; good for cool temperature, safety, many things.
