The housing market is in trouble. But some experts say that it will start turning around in 2010. So while you are waiting for it to recover, you might want to reconsider putting off that kitchen redo or landscaping job. "Any changes you make on your house now should increase your home value later." Well now you are wondering which project will bring the most bang for your buck right? Take a look at this list starting with the upgrades that will most likely recoup your investment and then enjoy the new kitchen.
~ Painting always provides dramatic results with little investment."Yellow is an optimistic color that gives people joy. Remember the front door is the focal point of the house so don't paint it purple!"
~Adding siding is a good upgrade especially the fiber-cement siding, Easy care siding holds up well against the elements and is resistant to fire, rotting and termites.
~ Building a deck will provide you with more than a place to flip burgers and soak up the sun. It is an extension of the inside of the house that make everything seem light and bright A deck offers a seamless transition from inside to outside.
~ Bathrooms also give dramatic resuls so update the bathrooms, a light, bright while, off white, pale yellow, etc. will bring the sunshine in.
~ Kitchen updates are always great like stainless steel appliances, corian or granite counter tops, tile back splash is fun and can add a decorative touch. The kitchen is the "meeting place" in the house so make it fun and welcoming.
Enjoy the relsults!
