In today's marketplace, home valuations take into consideration many factors. One of these factors is the law of increasing returns, as related to the money spent for improvements on a property.

Surprisingly, not all home improvements are considered added value projects (law of diminishing returns).

That said, let's start with some that are considered, more often than not, added value home improvement projects:

• Kitchen
• Bathrooms
• Garage Doors
• Siding
• Refinishing Basement
• Upgrade Flooring
• Add on or Home Office Conversion
• Windows

Home improvements that may not add value to a property's value include:

• Swimming Pool
• Extensive Landscaping
• Expensive Lighting & Fixtures
• Solar Panels

Staying ahead of market trends and making safe decisions about home improvements is always a good idea.
