Home remodels that pay off in many ways
Some homeowners invest in a renovation of their kitchen or bathroom because they hope that it will pay off when they sell their home, adding value and appeal. But in a new report from The National Association of Realtors, the benefits of a home remodeling project can pay homeowners back in ways that aren’t monetary at all.
NAR’s 2019 Remodeling Impact Report showed that in addition to potentially raising the resale value of a home, the job and sense of accomplishment for homeowners adds further incentive to taking on a remodeling project. In fact, 74 percent of owner-respondents to a survey state that they ultimately have a greater desire to be in their home after completing a project and 65 percent report feeling increased enjoyment in their home.
Today, conforming no-point 30-year fixed mortgage rates are averaging 3.75 percent and 15-year rates are near 3.25 percent.
