Maximizing Your Home's Value

Helping You:

One of the benefits we offer our clients is advice on which remodeling projects bring the greatest added value at resale. While our years of experience have taught us which improvements are valued most in this local area, we weigh that against regional and national averages to draw the most accurate, statistically-sound recommendations.

For our region, here's the average return on investment for some common projects:

Project	Cost	Average Payback
Add a new heating or air conditioning system	$2,000 to $4,500	100% for heating; 75% for air conditioning
Minor kitchen remodeling	$2,000 to $8,500	94% to 102%
Major kitchen remodeling	$9,000 to $25,000	90%

Remodel a home office	$8,000	69%
Replace windows	$6,000	68% - 74%

Install or upgrade landscaping	$1,500 to $15,000	30% - 60%
Finish basement	$3,000 to $7,000	15%

Your specific return on investment will depend on the value of your home, value of similar homes in your neighborhood, the availability and pricing of new homes, and the rate at which property values are changing in surrounding neighborhoods.

Ultimately, a remodel can increase your equity when you sell.

Our goal is to net you the most money possible.

We will help you decide which specific projects will maximize your home's sale price.
