Thinking about remodeling to sell your home or just to enjpy more? here are the Top ten projects for remodeling in the Houston area:
1. Bathroom Remodel
2. Landscaping
3. Kitchen remodel
4. Roofing
5. Cleaning services
6. handyman
7. Windows
8. Siding
9. Upgraded A/C
10. Exterior and Interior Painting

Don't overspend to get ready to sell, some remodeling improves the house to sell, very few increase the immediate value. The items that increase the value, may not have 100% pay-back.

Bathroom are always a Hot Point;ie, showers, tubs, counter tops, closet space, etc.

Landscaping is an inexpensive way to enhance a homes street appeal and increase saleability and value.

Windows are a great improvement to homes that still have old, single pane windows, but not an immediate pay-back, but will increase the saleability.

Wow!!! It has been awhile since I held an open house on a Sunday, 2pm to 4pm and had over 30 couples come and tour. Four couples waiting at 10 min till 2pm to come in. Home was in Houston Heights and all the traffic was great, all potential buyers...no lookers! Guess buyers have decided prices in Houston are starting to rise, low mortgage rates still available and need to buy before inflation kicksin. Great to see all these folks and have the opportunity to visit with them.
