Every year, REMODELING Magazine in cooperation with REALTOR
Magazine publishes its "Cost versus Value" report. Essentially,
this report tells readers what a home remodeling project usually
costs and what they can expect to recoup from that remodeling
project when they sell. In other words, how much value did the
remodeling project add to the property.
The report is broken down in a number of ways, but here is a synopsis of what it says for our part of the country.
