Real Estate News!

Having gone through a recent little home remodel myself, I was interested to read Realtor magazine's most recent article titled Top Ten Project Paybacks.  Homeowners from across the country shared information from their most recent remodeling project, and from these numbers we are able to get a snapshot of 2008's Cost vs. Value report. 

It states, "exterior remodeling projects lead the way for recovery on dollars spent" with siding, windows and decks giving you the greatest chance to recoup your money.  When it comes to the inside of your home, it's probably no surprise to see that only the kitchen remodel can compare.

Amazingly, Tulsa ranked 3rd highest of 78 other cities when it came to Job Cost vs. Value at Sale.  Across the board, Tulsa averaged 95% of the cost recouped on various project remodels.  The only two cities ahead of that percentage were Honolulu and San Francisco.
