Are you considering big-ticket repair items or other home improvements, but worry if you will ever recoup your expenses?

www.costvsvalue.com is a great website resource that homeowners can use to help make these decisions and better understand what they could potentially get back out of their repairs and upgrades when they sell their home.  The site compares average costs for 36 poular remodeling projects with the value those projects retain at resale in 102 U.S. Markets, and publish annual reports noting trends in ROI, comparing them at local, regional, and national levels for mid-range and upscale finish outs.

Dying to know the 2015 trends for the DFW Metroplex?

We analyzed the 2015 Cost vs. Value report www.costvsvalue.comfor the top 10 projects that bring the biggest juice for the squeeze for mid-range improvements in the Dallas marketplace. 

Topping the charts for returning a higher value to properties than the costs to install them, new roofs and new vinyl windows are the way to go!

Still ranking in the top 5, and being on the more modest side of improvements, garage doors and entry door replacements practically bench their own weight.

The numbers:

Amanda, some great data for your consumers in the Dallas Metroplex concerning which home improvements bring a greater return on re-sale dollars.

Can I assume that remodeling a man cave with wall to wall GREEN BAY PACKERS  memorabilia would not add value to a future Dallas home sale???  ^_~

Why  Amanda Thomas , I would be that buyer as Vince Lombardi is still THE MAN.  Why you weren't even born yet to know the Dallas horrors of losing those two consecutive NFL title games to Green Bay in the NFL Championship Games of 1966-67 and 1967-68.  Big D had some awesome teams back then but lost two heartbreakers to my Packers.

Send me pictures when you find such a home in Dallas, Amanda!   ^_~
