Cost Vs Value Improvements

Cost Vs Value

Thinking of sprucing up your home, but want to be sure that you’ll recoup those costs at the settlement table? Read up on The National Association of Realtors’ most recent Cost vs Value Report!
Two words: Curb Appeal. Hands down the best value of home improvement is through updating the exterior of your home to keep its first impression looking great year-round. The number one cost vs. value on our list is replacing your current front door with a steel door (85.6). Number two is fiber-cement siding replacement (79.3%), and a wood deck addition (77.3%) comes in third. Garage door replacement (75.7%) is fourth.
Some of the worst home improvements for cost vs value include a home office remodel, a sunroom addition, and a bathroom addition. Why? These are some of priciest add-ons, and they’re hit or miss with potential buyers.
