Making Home Improvements Pay

Realtor Magazine asks the questions, "What's the return for remodeling?” They found the answer through Remodeling magazine’s annual report which compares construction cost with resale values for 25 common remodeling projects in 60 U.S. markets. They call these the cost vs. value reports. For example a minor kitchen remodel for a 200 square foot kitchen;

National Average
Job Cost - $17,928
Resale Value - $15,278
Cost Recouped - 85%

West South Central
