The Value Of Home Enhancements

Certain home improvements not only provide great comfort, but are also solid financial investments. Home buyers historically pay full cost or more for certain improvements, but are willing to pay far less than actual cost for others based on their priorities and local market conditions.

Useful Tip:  Fresh paint, clean neutral flooring, minor kitchen updates and bedroom/bathroom additions top the list of remodeling projects that reap the greatest resale value.

Often, necessary mechanical repairs and structural maintenance are investments you will make to maintain, rather than add to the value of your home. The condition and features of your home are important points that your agent can review with you. This will help your agent how to best position your home in the marketplace.  Your agent will consider with you the following items, which have been ranked by importance by a HouseHunt Inc. survey. And of course, with every property being unique, the importance of each and every one of these features differs based on the individual...

So don't overlook a thing!
