Home Improvements that Yield a Return

Posted by Team_SPARK on September 21st, 2007

This year, consumers will spend $103 billion on home improvements. That is down a bit from last year. Several studies have been done about which home improvements provide the best return:

* Remodeling the kitchen and/or baths is one of the best ways to add value.
* On average, homeowners recoup 88% of the cost of remodeling the kitchen and 82% of remodeling the bath.
* Adding a room or garage is an expensive improvement that can pay off if it is carefully designed.
* Decks and patios can add value, depending on the part of the country.
* Landscaping often adds appeal, but not necessarily value.

Remember, home improvements usually take longer and can cost more money than you anticipate. Please feel free to call or email me if I can help you. I’d be happy to come by and discuss any improvements you are considering.

If you know of anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home, please forward their name and phone number. I will follow up with them promptly and provide them with the same quality service you have come to expect from me.

Sincerely,

TEAM SPARK
