Be Choosy With Home Improvement Projects

• Emphasize the essentials over the extras by investing in basic upgrades, such as fresh paint (use neutral colors) and new fixtures


• Know that curb appeal is vital; exterior projects can sometimes provide a greater return on investment than interior projects


• Avoid over-improvement by sticking to what's proportional in your neighborhood


• Consier adding a bathroom, bedroom or renovating the kitchen, which are appealing features for home buyers


• Projects that add square footage to bring a house up to - but not significantly beyond - community norms typically yield good returns.
