        "text": "Yes, barrier-free modifications can potentially increase your home's value, especially in areas with aging populations or a strong demand for accessible housing. Features like a zero-threshold shower, wider doorways, or a ramp can make a home appealing to a broader range of buyers, including those planning for future needs or caring for family members with mobility issues. While some highly specialized modifications might have limited appeal, well-designed and integrated universal design elements are generally seen as an asset, enhancing both functionality and marketability.",
