Update Your Existing Space

Exterior Home Improvements MN

Once again, exterior remodeling projects lead the way for recovery on dollars spent in this year’s Cost vs. Value survey.  When you compare the national averages, replacement projects that boost curb appeal, roofing, siding, and windows, give you the greatest chance of recouping your money.   Inside, only kitchen remodels can compare, at least on a national level.

Remodeling also allows homeowners to customize a home to meet their needs and desires, without giving up a familiar neighborhood or school.  Whether you are looking to add space, incorporate new amenities or accommodate lifestyle changes such as new children or aging, remodeling can provide an alternative to moving.  Adding a new master suite or playroom, finishing a basement or upgrading kitchens and baths always are popular projects, while modifications designed to allow residents to “age in place” are becoming increasingly widespread with baby boomers and retirees.

Upgrades That Still Deliver The Best Return On Your Investment For 2010

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Getting The Most Bang For Your Buck!

Remodeling is a better investment in some years than others.  This year has been among the worst if you’re hoping to recoup much money when you sell.  Homeowners are getting back just 64%, on average, of a project’s cost, compared with 87% in 2005, according to Remodeling Magazine’s 2009-2010 Cost vs. Value report.

Some projects pay back better than others.  You get more bang for the buck putting money into a basement or attic upgrade than adding a wing to the house.  Some of the highest-return projects include a deck addition and quick, conservatively priced replacements of old siding, entry door or windows.

Job Cost Resale Value Cost Recouped Project Job Cost Resale Value Cost Recouped

Home Improvements For More Curb Appeal

Any real estate pro can tell you there are 3 important areas to consider if you’re selling your home: curb appeal, kitchen and bathrooms.  But, why wait until you sell your home to shape up these areas?  Follow the advice of real estate professionals to put your home’s best “face” forward even if you are not putting it on the market.

It’s Called Curb Appeal
This is the first impression your home makes on any visitor.  In the real estate industry, it is referred to as “curb appeal” because many prospective buyers will not even get out of the car to look inside if they do not like your home from the curb.  But, your home can have the same effect on your visitors, as well. Take a good hard look from your curb: Does your home feel welcoming?  Is it a place that makes you want to come inside?

Here are a few other questions to consider:

  • Is your siding out-of-date or in need of repair?
  • Is your roof in good shape?
  • Are your driveway and walkways cracked and dingy?
  • Does the landscaping date your house?
  • Are your windows and shutters in good condition?
  • What does your front door look like?
  • Is your porch welcoming and clutter-free?
