Home Remodeling 2009 Cost vs Value Report

Home owners choose to remodel their home for numerous reasons. Whether that reason be to make their home more energy efficient, make their home more appealing to buyers if they have their home on the market to sell, to update and outdated room, to create more living space for that beloved mother-in-law who is moving in with you, or for many other reasons.

Whatever the reason for the remodel, home owners always like to get the most bang for their buck. Even if it is home that they plan to never leave and the remodel project is just to meet their specific needs, building home equity is a goal everyone likes to achieve as for most people their home is their biggest investment.

Getting the most value for your remodel project varies from year to year, with the status of the housing market largely being the main conrtributing factor. The top valued projects in 2009 in a year of a volatile and downtrending housing market vary from the top valued projects in 2005 where the housing market was at a peak.
