Move or Remodel: when is it better to improve what you have? For most homeowners there is a distinct advantage to remodeling or adding-on when compared to moving. The current market for home sales encourages that advantage in light of relative values. Rather than giving up equity, homeowners are better advised to make improvements to their home that will satisfy their need for more space or more contemporary conveniences while adding value to their investment for the long-term.
Especially important are those improvements that add to the home’s energy-efficiency. This is a great time to consider solar power, hot water management, air conditioning efficiency and air balancing (the effectiveness of the home’s air duct work).
There are a number of improvements you can do for yourself, especially when it comes to lighting, floor covering, storage and the like. For larger projects, consulting a trusted general contractor would be the first step in considering costs, codes, and alternative solutions. |
