Before investing a lot of effort and money in home improvements and upgrades, consult with your real estate agent to determine the most appealing and
cost-effective changes needed to sell you home.

The National Association of Realtors © lists improvements which will enhance the sale of your home and an estimate of your $$$ return for improvements or upgrades. (based on 2006 national averages)

• Remodeled Kitchen: major upgrade 80.4% - minor upgrade 85.2%

• Remodeled Master Bathroom: 84.9% (buyers like double sinks)
• Family Room Addition: 71.5% (most popular choice for resale value)
