Extra space! People often use basements as entertainment lounges. Just think: wouldn't it be fun to have a spacious lower level fit with a big-screen TV, a pool table, and a wet bar? Moreover, even if you just need room for a couple extra bedrooms, a basement can be useful. Even better, basements usually don't have to be finished when the rest of the house is finished. This can cut down on initial building costs, while also allowing for future expansion.
Homes with basements generally cost more to build than homes with, say, a slab foundation. However, cost to build depends on many different factors, such as location, the market, and material choices.
