I want to put Fiber board on all my listings!

And returns for high-end exterior renovations are still holding up, according to the NAR report, with better pay-offs than interior work. For example, sprucing up a home's look with expensive fiber-cement siding, which looks like wood but is more durable, returns 88% on investment, more than any other renovation NAR evaluated. "It could indicate that curb appeal is even more important than in the past," said NAR spokesman, Walter Molony. "It might get the home more serious looks from buyers."

 

One off my rental properties (SFH) really needs new siding and I'm going to try to use fiber board (if budget permits) instead of doing interior changes.  It would definitely help if I wanted to sell in the next couple of years. Interior remodels don't seem to be holding their value as much in this market.
