Whats the Market like for Remodeling?

Question:

We were thinking about moving, because of the great prices of houses on the market. When we started to look, we had more features in our current home than other houses had to offer. What does the market look like for remodeling?


DreamMaker Bath and Kitchen of Winston Salem’s Answer:


Remodeling is down from previous years, but according to recent reports from the BBB it's only 2.5%. So remodeling is still a good investment. One reason you couldn't find a home that gave you more than your current home, is that homeowners are not taking updating seriously. If you want to keep the value of your home, you must keep it updated! Homeowners in the market will pay top dollar for a home that does not need much work. People are too busy these days and value conscious to pay for neglected projects.

So, think about remodeling your home right now. The rates have never been lower for clients with good credit. Do it now and give your family a chance to enjoy it. Then, when the market turns around (and it always does) if you still want to move, your home will be ready for top dollar.

NOTE: The best updates for top dollar and top enjoyment are kitchens and baths. Updating kitchen appliances is huge. Opening up that floor plan to create good flow in a house will compliment today's lifestyle. A family area with lots of storage is really important and laundry rooms close to the bedrooms really makes sense. Just a few tips to think about!
