Open the Door to Maximum Return on your $

by jmeuse on January 17, 2012

in Market Info

Many of you have asked! This year’s Cost Vs. Value Report for 2010-2011 has been published. We reported on this back in December of 2009 and the improvement with the biggest return in 2009 remains the biggest ”bang for your buck”! And the winner is, entry door replacement! Although that project’s cost vs. value is down from the previous year, at 102% cost recouped, it makes sense. If you are thinking of selling your home, the entry is every prospective buyer’s first impression. You will need to do a little research to maximize your potential. Consulting with one of our advisors will also keep your costs in line with the current market.  It’s a complimentary service we offer with no obligation!
