Weekend
Realtor’s Corner by North Central Washington Association of Realtors Board of Directors
Exterior Replacement Projects When it comes to remodeling, exterior replacement projects have routinely rewarded homeowners with more bang for their buck. This year is no different, as Realtors® recently rated many exterior improvements as among the most valuable home investment projects as part of the 2011-12 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report.
Merry Christmas
“Inexpensive exterior replacement projects are not only crucial to a home’s regular upkeep, but are also expected to recoup close to 70 percent of costs. Specific exterior projects such as siding, window and door replacements are part of regular home maintenance, so many homeowners are already undertaking them. These projects ... (add) curb appeal,” states National Association of Realtors® President Moe Veissi.
& All the best for a
Happy New Year From the Windermere family to yours
HouseLogic.com, NAR’s consumer website, includes dozens of remodeling projects, from kitchens and baths to siding replacements, which indicate the recouped value of the project based on a national average. According to the Cost vs. Value, seven of the top 10 most cost-effective projects nationally in terms of value recouped are exterior replacement projects. Resale value is just one factor among many that homeowners need to take into account when making a decision to remodel. The desirability and resale value of particular remodeling projects also varies by region and metropolitan area. A Realtor® can help homeowners decide what low-cost improvement projects will provide the most upon resale in a particular market.
