Useful Resources for Remodeling Your Home

Now that springtime is here, I wanted to share some useful resources that can help you bring the most return on your next remodel. The National Association of Realtors, in conjunction with the National Builders Association, recently published a fascinating article, 2013-14 Cost vs. Value: Remodeling Pays Off Big Time and can be viewed below:

The report takes a look at various home renovation projects and costs and how much of a return on investment they generate. Keep in mind that the numbers they quote are national numbers, so local market prices here in Palm Beach and Broward County will vary. The projects that are covered are some mid-range projects, like a window replacement, to upscale projects like a full kitchen remodel and also where your remodeling costs will go the furthest.

To help inspire your next remodel, I want to share a few websites with you:

  1. www.BobVila.com. This is one of my favorites and is really easy to navigate. It contains many great ideas and articles and there’s also an iPad App, Bob Vila’s Toolbox, which has some great remodeling videos. The App is $1.99 and can be found on iTunes.
  2. www.Houzz.com. I absolutely LOVE this website! If you are searching for some amazing inspirational ideas on home remodeling projects and you like technology – then you’ll totally enjoy navigating your way around this site! What’s great about this website is that you can see actual finished remodeling projects, where they purchased their products, who designed the remodel as well as find local professionals. They also have a free iPhone/iPad App! It’s a lot of fun; easy-to-navigate; colorful; informative and you’ll be overflowing with ideas!
  3. www.ThisOldHouse.com. There is also the option to subscribe to their magazine for some additional great remodeling tips and ideas. The website, however, has thousands of remodeling projects, tons of ideas, “how-to’s”, as well as the latest advice on projects and products.


So, if you’re considering doing some remodeling of your home or you just want to maximize the price you’ll get when selling your home, these resources will be invaluable!

Remember, your referrals are so important to us – they are the lifeblood of the business here at Palm Beach Premier Real Estate! Thanks and have a great day.
