Remodeling has become an “in” thing, whether it is re-designing your kitchen, bathroom, living area or the whole of your home. Remodeling adds value to a property as the expenses are recouped at the time of the resale. Having re-designed your home not only adds more space but it also adds value to the house when we talk about resale.
Remodeling a home is directly linked to an improved value on your property. But while renovating your property you must do remodels that add value to your property. Let us say you hired a handyman or a professional remodeling company for getting your living room re-designed. Alison Flores, a research analyst at the H&R Block Tax Institute says, “If you paint your living room three times because you can't decide on the color, the cost of the paint is not deductible”. Working on other things like plumbing, heating, air conditioning generally add value to your home at the time of resale.
Home improvement may cost you some 20 to 25 cents on the dollar. A good planning will help you save the 75 to 80 cents of that dollar as they go directly into the value of your home. Remodeling is like a marathon, not a sprint. You must not be fed by your impulse while making such decisions. Only value-enhancing projects will add value to your property.Read More..
