If you are looking to sell, you might want to read  Remodeling Magazines 2009's Cost vs. Value Report (CSV).  This will give you an idea of where you'll get your biggest Return On Investment (ROI) before you begin your remodeling project.

These are the top 10 updates from that report from HGTV Front Door.

  • Spruce up or replace your siding.
  • Add a deck.
  • Tweak your kitchen.
  • Repair or replace windows.
  • Overhaul your kitchen.
  • Strip the bathroom.
  • Find cash in the attic.
  • Earn bucks from the basement.
  • Add space to add value.
  • Add low-cost landscaping.

    Ginger-Price has to be right in this market.

    Debra-It's good advice for people that are wanting to get a ROI>

    Cathy-Kitchens are especially important, it's where family and friends seem to gather.

    Great list and links, Cindy! I told my Sellers today that replacing floors and painting walls were the best ROI, but this brings up a few other items I had forgotten. In our market, it's just not smart to put your home on the market until it is move-in ready and will knock the Buyer's socks off!
