Every year, Remodeling Magazine ranks the national average costs of various home remodeling projects by the highest resale value and the costs recouped. While most projects impact only parts of a home, their resale value is estimated in the sales price when the home is sold. For example, the top project is a garage door replacement that costs $4,513 for a resale value of $8,751, making costs recouped at 193.9%.
The top four out of five projects are exterior, which supports the importance of curb appeal. Curb appeal goes a long way in the current San Angelo real estate market. Behind the garage door replacement, they include a steel entry door at $2,355 with a resale value of $4,430; manufactured stone veneer at $11,287 with a resale of $17,291; and a grand fiberglass entrance at $11,353 with a $11,054 resale value. While all of these specific examples may not be precisely relevant to your San Angelo homes, this gives you an idea of the type of remodeling projects that deliver bang for your buck.
Realtor.com also highlights remodeling projects with the highest return on investment. Top improvements include energy-efficient upgrades (70–100%)- such as programmable thermostats, enhanced insulation, upgraded doors and windows, and new HVAC systems- along with minor kitchen remodels (70–80%) and bathroom updates (60–70%).
Offering less ROI are luxury upgrades (50-60%); swimming pools (40-50%); high-end landscaping (30-60%); home office renovations (45-55%), and sunrooms/enclosed porches (45-55%). Of course, all of these examples still hold value and homeowner enjoyment, while still maintaining a smaller return on investment.
