Bartlett IL Home Improvement Projects (photo courtesy of meddygarnet on flickr.com)

New-home sales rose 24% and pending home sales jumped 32% overall in October from a year earlier, which is good news for the Bartlett IL real estate market. 

However Bartlett home sellers are still looking for that price edge on their homes for sale. One of the ways to increase the value of your home, is through remodeling projects and upgrades. 

While some of the tried and true remodeling projects are no longer providing the save cost-to-value returns that they used to, the following remodel projects are still worth the investment:

• Siding Replacement (Fiber-Cement or Foam-Backed Vinyl)
• Window Replacement (Vinyl or Wood)
• Kitchen Remodel (Major or Minor)
• Finish the Attic or Basement
• Bathroom Upgrade
• Deck Addition (Wood or Composite Product)

While some of these projects will cost more up front, if you have the savings or access to reasonably priced credit it is worth it to consider one or more of the above improvement projects if you wish to put your home on the market now or in the future.
