When I was researching it, it really did seem like it's close to a break even scenario when compared to moving.
If you are selling a $500,000 place you have well over $20,000 out the door on realtor/lawyer/moving costs. Often easily $25,000. That gives adding on a nice little head start.

for pete's sake, do not cheap out on your foundation if your addition will be 2 storeys. ideally, i would like to see a 4' deep frost wall around the perimeter. next best option would be concrete piles, 4' deep min. (or even screw piles) with grade beam. anything less and you're throwing your money away.
