Real Estate Markets • Remodeling For Resale • The Real Estate "Location" Factor
Simply sprucing up your house makes a huge difference when it comes time to sell — a fresh coat of paint, clean carpets, and weed-free planting beds can make a world of difference. For bigger projects, focus on your kitchen and bathroom first. You will generally recover about 80% of the cost of a kitchen remodel and 90% of what you spend for a bathroom renovation.
Cosmetic renovations that also return up to 70-80% of your investment include new siding and windows. Contractors.com can help you estimate the cost of siding or new windows with their online estimators.
If you plan to renovate or repair your home before putting it on the market, it is important to select your home remodeling contractor carefully. Use a qualified contractor and get the job done right! For more information about choosing the best remodeling projects for resale, see the 2004 survey by Remodeling magazine and the 2010-2011 Cost vs. Value Report that compare the cost of construction to the likely return on investment (ROI) at resale.
