Cost vs Value: what are the best remodels/upgrades for your $$$$ in 2010-11?

I get this question often.  Everyone wants to invest in their home and get something for their efforts.  This is an article from Realtor.com featuring the best remodel for your buck.  This survey features REALTORS® opinions from 80 different cities on big bang projects. The top five projects are listed with their cost, resale value and cost re-couped. 

If your thinking of doing a remodel here are the projects that bring the greatest recovered cost:

1. Entry Door replacement

2. Garage door replacement

3. Siding replacement

4. Kitchen remodel

5. Deck addition

Of course perspective is important.  What one buyer will want is not what all buyers need.

Cory- I guess the doors make sense. They are the first thing you notice!

The 1st two are quite important for increasing curb appeal and the chance of a quicker sale

Cory, Great recap of the cost vs. value report.  Very helpful info for sellers.  I find it interesting that the first 3 are all about curb appeal.
