Curb Appeal: Tops Return On Investment

4/24/2019

Thanks to Remodeling Magazine it's time for 2019 home return on investment statistics. Keep in mind that costs to remodel have increased, but the percentages still show a positive return on a variety of projects. Where will you gain the most significant ROI? Exterior updates reign supreme. Just look at the ROI for a new garage door and see that you'll get almost 100% of your investment back when you sell your home. Obviously, homebuyers who are not impressed by the outside of your home will be less interested in buying before they walk through the front door. First impressions are key to selling. Here for your inspiration are remodeling projects and the statistics to see whether you can recoup your expenses.

When you're ready to sell your home, please get a Realtor's objective opinion. You may be overwhelmed and think that your house won't sell unless you tackle certain projects. You may think you can't afford to correct the flaws you see in your home. A Realtor knows what buyers expect depending on numerous factors, including your listing price. A Realtor can help stage your home to make the most of its best features. Acknowledge your need for expert advice. 
With the guidance of a professional, the burden of making the most of your home's curb appeal will be lifted.
