Top remodeling projects - Cost vs Value

Thinking of remodeling your Cecil County, MD or Harford County, MD home?

 

 

Curb Appeal

 

 

 

Every year Remodeling Magazine & Realtor Magazine release their Cost vs Value home for the prior year. This is their 20th year of doing this annual home remodeling report. If you are thinking of selling your Cecil County, MD or Harford County, MD home in the near future you should concentrate on exterior upgrades. That is what the results from this survey conclude. By doing exterior home improvements you are also improving your curb appeal. Many buyers will decide if they want to see the inside of your home or not by the way the outside looks. This report was broken down in a variety of ways such as national, regions, mid-range projects and upscale projects. I am posting the results for mid-range projects in the South Atlantic Region which comprises Baltimore MD, Wilmington DE, Atlanta GA, Columbia SC, Jacksonville FL, Miami FL, Norfolk VA, Orlando FL, Raleigh NC, Richmond VA, Tampa FL and Washington DC. If you are interested in viewing other reports you can view them at cost vs value.
