Is a basement rec room considered in a bedroom appraisal?

Nope, a basement rec room isn't typically counted as a bedroom in an appraisal. For a space to be considered a bedroom, it usually needs a closet, an egress window, and it must adhere to local building codes. Rec rooms, especially in the basement, don't usually tick all those boxes but are valued differently as part of the home's overall living space.

Actually, whether a basement rec room can be considered in a bedroom appraisal depends on your local regulations. I converted my basement rec room into a legal bedroom by adding an egress window and a closet. Check your local building codes!
