People are changing in their tastes of the sort of home improvements they want to see when they are shopping for a home. One of the big trends we are seeing is that people are not so much looking for flash in the house, but value. For example, many people like to see a higher quality siding on a house than vinyl. People are not spending all the money on a pool or on landscaping. They are buying higher quality fiber cement materials for the side of their house. Also, people are improving the trim on their homes and are going for a lot of prepainted and inexpensive trim. Also, people really are doing a lot of upgrades on the front door of the home. Many prospective buyers are really noticing the quality of the door on the front of the home. There is nothing wrong with putting in a new but inexpensive steel door. It is a good idea to put glass that is argon filled to make sure that it keeps down heating and cooling expenses. This is a nice way to upgrade the look of your house but to not spend a lot of money doing it. Windows are another thing that are good to upgrade in the home and are something that potential buyers are going to notice and appreciate. Today you can get a lot of windows that are made from vinyl and they are not expensive at all really. You also can get tax credits for buying efficient window systems. YOU can get back $60 per window! What a deal, and you also get energy efficiency and they are very attractive to a potential buyer. Another solid home improvement is a deck that is not too expensive. You want to make sure you do not spend more money than you are going to get back of course. They are simple to put together so you can get reasonably priced wood and do it yourself in fact. People still like composites and more expensive materials but buyers want to keep costs down. People are more sensitive to taking on more house they can afford now. A home office space is also something that is becoming more popular. It is becoming more possible for more people to work at home and to avoid the expensive and long commuting. More people are able to do business from their homes so they appreciate having a dedicated space where they can do this. Adding a room in the basement is always going to be a good investment for you. Just keep in mind that you want to keep the material costs down. You don't want to spend more than you can get back, and again, people are just more sensitive to buying more they can afford now.
