This really depends on the market that you are selling to. Some people find that a 3 bedroom house is more appealing than a 4 bedroom because they will expect the cost to be higher and they may not know what to do with that extra space. The cost of building a whole addition to your house is very expensive, but there is an easier way to add an extra bedroom besides going through the whole addition process. If it is in your basement you can simply install an Egress window in order for that room to be considered an extra bedroom or you could call it a home office which would be much less expensive and more appealing to home buyers.

You need to make sure you do improvements that appeal to the masses as much as possible. You also want to make sure you have everything done legally and by licensed and bonded contractors. Check their work as questions be involved as for references and follow up with them to make sure your work is done right. Do not price yourself out of your neighborhood by doing way to much because you will never get all that money back.

In most every case adding or remodeling a room adds to the resale value of a home. The older the home and the more it is in need of remodeling the more the remodeling project will increase the value of the home. If the home has been remodeled in the past few years and you just want to change the look it will not increase the value as much.

In some cases the increase in the value of the home may even be more than the cost of the remodeling project. This would depend on the neighborhood that you live in and the current value/condition of your home. If a bathroom has worn tiles and the fixtures and finishes look like they are out of the 60's or 70's you will probably get an increase in value far above what your general contractor will charge you for your remodeling project.

Yes but beware of over improving for the neighborhood. \r\nJust because you improve does not mean you will get your money back when you sell. The best return for your dollar is usually obtained by improving the kitchen and baths. Good Luck! \n\n

If your house doesn't look appealing from the outside, you can choose colors and exterior details that match the period of your house. For instance, Shutters add charm and depth, but not if they're hanging crooked or flaking paint as well attractive, manicured front-yard landscaping will also add value to your home.

Generally speaking, remodeling or adding an addition will add to the value of your home. However, over improving could be an issue depending upon your area. I would check with a real estate agent to get a better gauge on the market in your neighborhood. Also, check with your insurance agent as adding on square footage could change your inusance premium, and at the very least needs to be added to your policy.

Most definitely; any additions or improvements add to a homes value. It is always wise to consult with a Designer or other professional to make sure the changes made get you the most possible. It's important that you know your homes worth and the comps of the area you live in. Comps is the value of other homes in your area. I have been a Designer for over 20 years and I do a lot of renovations for sale: improvements to homes to guarantee more money for the seller of the home. In today's fluctuating Market it's important that the Seller get some leverage back; it's been a buyers Market since 2008 and it's time that Home Owners get what back the true value of their homes.

Actually yes, when ever we decorate our house, or remodel the house the value itself gets increased. Its same as if you have a car and you are adding extra efforts to make that comfortable and look some what different , then you remodel that, or else you put some stuff for that, then the value of you car will increase itself...
