Sure, a garage will cost that much, but it will increase the value of your home by close to the cost of the build.
When you factor those two things, the garage is likely the cheaper way to go.
More importantly, and to the point, adding the garage is life-changing with respect to living convenience.

In one way we don’t really want to move never sold a house and bought at the same time.. sounds stressful. Realtor costs and looking at houses for sale it’s so hard to find something we like.. the whole point of moving again is looking for a close to perfect house not another one that needs a lot of work. Currently my wife can get downtown like 25-35 mins and walk to the bus stop super simple and would like to keep it relatively simple for her.
The kind of house we would want that is more renovated costs are quite high. So kind of sucks to increase our mortgage by 100-200k probably. Currently we will pay it off by 51 depressing to change that to much lol
House is okay but you can’t change the space we just wish it was slightly bigger we don’t want a massive two storey 2000+ sq foot plus basement house . But something like a 1200 sqfoot bungalow nice yard garage and 800~ sq foot basement.
I was pricing out buying a 600-650 house which is probably close to what we would need to spend which is already insane to me. But probably best to wait probably not ideal for wife to be on may leave with super increased housing costs
