Free Info Helps Owners Boost Resale Values
Free Info Helps Owners Boost Resale Values
It’s the time of year when many home owners start planning their remodel. So it’s helpful to know which projects offer the most return. The average cost of a midrange bathroom remodel is $16,634, according to Remodeling Magazine’s 2011 Cost v. Value report; home owners will recoup about 64 percent of the cost at resale. Going more upscale, however, not only costs more ($53,759, on average), but draws a lower return at resale at about 57 percent.
Returns on both investments were down from the previous year’s report.
However, home owners may be able to buck those return-on-investment trends by including the latest and greatest features in their new bathroom. Help them do that by posting to Facebook free information from the REALTOR® Content Resource on 3 hot bathroom remodeling trends for 2012.
