Does converting Den to Bedroom increase value?

If a real estate agent says otherwise, don’t believe it. Never seen a place that went for cheap because it had unpermitted mods.

No, you don’t have to report it. RE agents will bend backwards to advertise a room as a bedroom if they can–you just have to have the closet, 2nd egress (door/window), and be sure to have a smoke alarm. I kid you not, I’ve been to listings where a bedroom was a small room you had to walk through to get to another bedroom, and the closet was a small bookshelf built into the wall. Oh that RE agent was so proud of herself.
