Home Improvements that Add Value To Your House |
There are two ways to go about making home improvements. Either you splurge for something purely for the pleasure of having it — the new slate bathroom you've dreamed about; that modern kitchen that your spouse has been hinting at for the last six years — or you take a pragmatic approach, buying an energy-efficient furnace or repairing a leaky roof because you want to increase your home's market value. |
Don't expect to score on both counts. Just because you pour $30,000 into your home doesn't mean that your house is worth $30,000 more. Exactly how much you'll recoup in costs depends on several factors, including the direction of the general housing market, the value of the homes in your area, the time of year you plan to sell the home and the type of the project itself. And keep in mind that the longer you hold on to your home after a remodeling project is completed, the less likely you are to recoup its value. That's in part because design tastes can shift significantly over time. Remember when avocado green was all the rage? This section examines a few improvements that pay off more often than not — and some that rarely make a difference when it comes time to sell your home.
