Refinancing a Home

Improvement Projects with the Biggest Payoff

According to a recent National Association of Realtors survey, some improvement projects return a much larger bang for the buck than others.

If you’re planning to refinance in order to remodel your home – and increase its value – the four most effective projects, in terms of overall return, are:

• A new entry door
• A new garage door
• A new deck
• Window and siding replacement

If you want to improve your home’s value, projects that contribute to curb appeal are likely to pay off – and may make your home more enjoyable to live in as well.
