Home improvements are a funny thing. Some of them have a return on investment and some do not. Here is a list from the California Association of Realtors of home improvement projects that have some pay back. A word of advise with any project you do: If it needs a permit, get one!!! It may save you a little money at the time but when you go to sell your home, unpermitted things are never good and could end up costing you much more to resolve.
DeeDee in my market I find the number one money maker is adding square feet! Great post!, Endre
DeeDee, I like this easy to read and easy to understand information for homeowners.
These ROI's sound much higher than all of the studies I've seen. Usually, I see kitchens at 60-70% and bathrooms a bit less. It always surprises me that they never measure hardwood in any of these studies.
Thanks for this info DeeDee. Remodeling the smart way can give you a big return on your investment.
Endre - Not sure which it would be in my market but square footage is sure easiest to calculate! Thanks for your comment.
Alan - Thank you!
Sharon - Glad you liked it! And thanks for stopping by to read it!
Debbie - This was from our California Association so could be just another area where your location makes a difference. And "real estate is local" comes into play! Thanks for your comment!
Suzanne - I definitely agree that it needs to be well thought out! Thanks for your comment!
