Is your home ready for a change?  Even if you aren’t looking to spend a lot of money on a major remodel, there are many options that will give your home an instant facelift and provide a great return on your investment. Across the county, homeowners are looking to upgrade their homes with purpose and style. Whether to increase value, add functionality or create a more enjoyable living environment remodeling projects account for about 40% of all residential construction spending and about 2  per cent of the U. S. economy.  Homes that lack features of other homes in the neighborhood tend to sell for less and stay on the market longer.  Still its important to remember that some home improvement projects will give you a better return on your investment than others.  For example, the addition of a new office, extra bath or a spare bedroom are projects which add the most value to your home while a "lifestyle" home improvement project  such as a swimming pool  or tennis court may be important to you as a home owner but may not add measurable real estate value.  For more information about the latest trends in home design or to find out more about which projects will give you the greatest return on your home improvement investment, give me a call or contact me, Paulette Zuena, RE/MAX Partners in Andover, MA.
