Curb Appeal Important When Selling
The outside appearance of your home will convince a prospective buyer to, at least, venture inside to view your home for sale. That was the finding in a recent Remodeling magazine survey. Though most home improvements don’t pay for themselves at resale, the survey found that the projects with the greatest return on the dollar are those that improve a home’s curb appeal, such as new siding, decks, windows, paint and landscaping. Sellers usually recover about 70 cents for every dollar they’ve spent for home improvements. That’s down from more than 80 cents in 2005. The survey’s authors say this is the result of higher costs for home remodeling and declining sale prices. Where home prices have not dropped as much as in other regions, sellers can recoup a higher percentage of their home improvement expenses.
