EXTERIOR REMODELING IN MY OPINION. ROI ON UPDATING YOUR EXTERIOR USING HARDIE SIDING BUILDING PRODUCTS IS AROUNT 90% AND RANKS AS TOP HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECT TO ADD VALUE TO YOUR BUILDING.
Kitchens and bathrooms has the highest returns for your investment. Exterior envelope in Oregon or any other rainy place will keep your investment safe and sound.
Kitchen and bathroom remodels have always been the best investment in homes
Basement remodel seems to be on the rise not only provides you with more living space but if you ever find your self in hardship it can become a source of income to get you through those hard times and it will also add value to the property
There is a lot to consider. When your looking to improve value you don’t want to improve your home beyond the neighborhoods ability to support the resale value. In Northern Va. Kitchens trend high, opening up your floor plan by removing walls are high on the list and a beautiful Master Bathroom fight for second place. There is a lot we need to know before we can answer that question for a specific home.
If you are looking to increase your home value while making the living quality more enjoyable we always suggest the areas that are most used in your home. This can vary but typically consists of your kitchen, bathrooms, and interior and exterior living spaces (ie: living room and patio).
To increase your home value for resale we focus on remodeling or giving a face lift to 4 key areas;
- The Kitchen
- The Bathrooms
First two are the no brainers that everyone knows. What people understand for the most part is that these have the best return on investment (ROI) and make the home look beautiful. In addition to ROI, these renovations typically translate psychologically into less out of pocket cost and less headache for a buyer after moving in. - Curb appeal
- Initial Interior appeal
3 & 4 deal with the impression that visitors or prospective buyers have when they arrive to your home and when they enter your home. Generally, if visitors or prospective buyers have a good feeling about your home as they arrive and are impressed with what they see when they enter you are in great shape.
All renovations that you plan to do, you should consider the purpose. To sell at some point or to enjoy based on your tastes for the long haul.
Kitchens / Bathrooms / Windows & Doors
I would recommend adding solar power to your home. Solar panels are guaranteed to produce energy for 25 years plus and that energy has a defined value that can be measured and recorded. In some states, solar electric systems increase home value by around 15%. An experienced realtor should have knowledge of the added value to a home. In terms of quality, adding solar would create an energy efficient home, which is highly sought-after these days. Hope this helps!
In most of cases kitchen and bathroom remodeling. Depended on floor layout I like to remove a wall between kitchen and dinning for open floor concept. Definitely on bathroom remodel project to add naturel light (if you can!) such as window or especially sky-light!!! that will be biggest turn over for you bathroom. And last, to convert your unfinished basement to LOVER LEVEL of your living space.
p.s. do not forget about attic insulation. Proper level or R-value for you region will help you to save on heating and AC bills.
no doubt, right now in LA area will be add to the house, second one will be to add or create an ADU.
I am the guy that’s going to say kitchens and baths. The last thing a new buyer wants to see are outdated kitchens and baths. So much easier for them to fall in love with a newly remodeled kitchen or bath that truly adds value and worth to your home. I’ve heard so many couples whisper to each other, “Thank goodness we don’t have to touch the kitchen, it’s already done!”
Absolutely true.

Installing solar panels can really add a lot of equity to your home. You can have free electricity for years to come, which is a huge selling point to potential buyers or renters!
Exterior Improvements such as vinyl siding, updated front entry doors, and windows on your home add massive value to your home’s curb appeal. If the exterior of the house is not appealing, most potential buyers pass the advertisement. Replacing your vinyl siding will increase your home’s value by about 78%.
normally the price for the house is determinate by sq/ft so if you adding more sq/ft it will increase the over all price of your house
the rest is to help you sell in a better price but the significantly adding is by adding sq/ft
