Remodeling
Your Home for Added Value
One way to add
value to your home is to remodel your bathroom or kitchen
with products that will give you a greater return on your
investment. Buying the right types of luxury item at the
lowest prices will enable you to enjoy a nicer kitchen
and bath, save money on higher-quality brands, and
increase the value of your home, making you a very smart
investor and homeowner. But just as important for many is
the increase in the value of their property.
Kitchen and bathroom remodels are most likely to
contribute the greatest to a homes overall value but the
national average on the return is still only 85% to 88% (on
buying average types of products). How can you be sure
you are reinvesting your hard won equity in the best way?
LEARN HOW TO BUY RIGHT! Buying high quality brands will
enable you to enjoy luxury kitchen and bath fixtures for
less, thus increasing the value of your home as much as
possible.
The latest figures from REMODELING MAGAZINE indicate that
most popular home remodeling projects can return
homeowners as much as 68% to 102% of costs if the home
sells within the year. But the fact that most or even all
of remodeling costs can be recuperated isn’t the
only reason homes are being updated in record numbers.
Home has become more important to Americans. We are
strengthening the bond with our homes as a place to
retreat, relax and reinvest. Personalizing the home by
remodeling nourishes our souls and comforts us in what is
becoming our one safe “haven” on earth …
our home!
Like real estate, the value of a remodeling project is
hard to figure and is dependent on the market, type of
house, etc. … but what seems to be universally
agreed upon is that dated baths and kitchens drive
homebuyers away! Experienced homebuyers pay attention to
three features: the roof, the mechanical systems and the
kitchen. A nice kitchen and updated bath usually results
in a house selling quicker and for a better price!
If you are ready to invest in your home, achieving good
results within a budget depends largely on the materials
chosen. A luxury kitchen faucet or name brand classic
bathroom pedestal can make the difference.
Remodeling will continue to add value to homes as long as
the market for resale stays strong. Low mortgage interest
rates and relatively low unemployment drive sales. How do
you become a smart/savvy and discriminating shopper and
homeowner? Source the right products for the right price
without having to compromise style! This will ensure a
beautiful home that will create a higher return on your
investment.
