Find out how to get more money for your home.

It used to be that if you remodeled a kitchen, a bath, or added any type of improvement, you could expect a dramatic increase in your home value. Then, with the downturn in the market, improvements made a house stand out, but would not necessarily add gobs of monetary value to the home.

Number one was adding a steel door. At an average cost of $1100, it is economical and a seller can expect to see 85.6% of what they spent returned in added value. An owner can also expect to recoup 79.6% of their investment on cement siding. Other high value improvements included windows and minor kitchen updates. 

And although adding an attic bedroom can be costly, it could add over $30,000 in value to your home.
