While waiting for a client yesterday, I flipped through my latest copy of Realtor magazine and stopped at the article:
Top 5: First Impressions Matter by G. M. Filisko
It was a part of the magazine's Cost vs Return by Remodeling Magazine. The biggest return at 102.1 per cent was an upgrade to the home's entry door. The idea is to remove an existing 3 foot by 6'8" entry door and replace it with a steel door with half glass. This is considered a mid-range upgrade with an approximate cost of $1,218.
The others in the top five: garage door replacement, siding replacement, kitchen remodel and deck addition. The information is from Realtors from 80 cities across the country.
If you are a homeowner, where do you think you will get the biggest bang for your buck? If you an real estate agent, what advice to you give to your home selling clients?
