What room in my house if i remodel it raise the value of my house?

    Suggestions:
  1. Minor Kitchen Remodel – cost recouped 92.9%
    "In a functional but dated 200-square-foot kitchen with 30 linear feet of cabinetry and countertops, refinish existing cabinets, and install new energy-efficient wall oven and cooktop, laminate countertops, mid-priced sink and faucet, wall covering, and resilient flooring. Repaint. Job includes new raised-panel wood doors on cabinets."

    SO… according to this report… even the number one remodel will not raise the value of your home.
    I agree with everyone who says that painting and a really good cleaning will help.

  2. Bathroom or kitchen

  3. kitchen

  4. Kitchen & Bathrooms

  5. the kitchen or bathrooms

  6. A remodeled kitchen adds the most value to the house, but is also the most expensive to remodel. A remodeled bathroom is also a great bonus.

  7. definately the kitchen and bathroom…..

  8. i would go with the kitchen

  9. kitchen or bathrooms….and sometimes if you have a basement that is finsihed that helps a lot also! hope this helps!

  10. Bathroom and kitchen always. But sometimes just new fixtures and paint will do the job.

  11. The Kitchen.

  12. the kitchen or living room because the most expensive items go in there and of course those rooms would have to look nice because that is where everyone gathers for like a family thing

  13. Bathroom-body care is important to everybody.

  14. Definetly the kitchen.

  15. The kitchen. If you remodel one bathroom, make sure you do the others also. Buyers don’t like to see a great, newly remodeled bathroom, then see other bathrooms that haven’t been touched.

  16. Kitchen will raise the most, but usually also costs the most to redo (new appliances, tile, etc…)

    A few words… tile floors last the longest; carpet, if not very old, is usually the first thing new home owers want to replace given dirt, bacteria, etc…

    Fresh paint and clean EVERYTHING. If it looks (and smells) clean, buyers will assume it always has been.

  17. if you are looking to increase the resale value of an existing piece of property, your best remodeling choices are kitchens and bathrooms.

  18. Bathrooms and kitchen

  19. living rooms, master bedrooms with bath and walk-in closets, kitchen, and patios with good design…..also your ceiling try to make them at least 10′ feet height, to bring volume to your house, to make it look bigger even though is small…if you want more information email at israelmoya20@yahoo.com

  20. The kitchen should be the show place.

  21. I agree, kitchen and bathrooms. I think kitchen would be most important but that would depend on the condition of the room. which would need it the most out of the two.

  22. Either the kitchen or the bathroom. They are the two most used rooms in a house.
