 Every year Realtor® Magazine writes an article of the Cost vs. Value of remodeling projects at home. The report examines general home improvement projects, upgrades, additions, and replacements. For the year of 2008, the real estate market fell on average by 7 percent nationally; however, home improvement projects dropped only 3.86 percent and continue to be good investments, according to Remodeling's 2008-2009 Cost vs. Value Report. While certain investments return more money than others, you can be sure that improving your home's exterior, roofing, kitchen, bathroom, or basement will ultimately increase the value of your home. Coupled with the new tax credits for energy efficient systems/upgrades, this may be the year to start improving your home! Below are several links to check out...
