July 2017 Real Estate Roundup
Welcome to summer! One of the questions that we are often asked is what home improvements gives us the biggest and fastest jump in home value. While the first thoughts are usually adding a new room or putting in a new kitchen or bathroom, this is not always the case. According to the most recent nationwide research, the following home remodeling projects will give you the best “Return on Investment” for your remodeling projects this year.
Number one, in a surprising first place finish was installing or adding loose-fill fiberglass insulation. Few buyers want to move into a home that has delayed maintenance problems. Buyers know a well-insulated home has been kept up well and properly maintained.
At number two, the second best remodeling improvement is replacing your home’s front door. First impressions count a great deal. When a buyer walks up to the front of your home, they want to be impressed. Buyers know if they are impressed when they walk up to their new home, their visiting friends and family will be as well.
And, at number three, is remodeling or refreshing the exterior siding of your home. Whether painting, finishing the stucco or repairing cracks, just like the front door, the exterior of your home shows pride of ownership and curb appeal.
