Remodeling affect appraising?

Kitchen and bathrooms upgrades have traditionally been able to recover the cost... Unfortunately, in todays market.. It is a whole different story. Follow this link to see what it says: http://www.metzlermortgage.com/HomePriceIndex - We are based in St Paul.

You chose the right things to spend your money on. Bathrooms and kitchens provide the easiest return on investment. Unfortunately it is very difficult to tell how strong the remodeling impact is on your value. It will depend more on comprable sales in the area.

Probably. Most improvements that update an old kitchen or bathroom will add value to the property. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ www.LoansA2z.com 888-889-9950

Any time you do improvements it will add value to your home.. How much is determined by many factors.. Which type of materials did you use.. (Granite counters are of more value than Formica counters.. etc..) How do the other homes compare to your in your neighborhood? if most of your homes in your area are upgraded with high end improvements, you will feed of their values even if you didn't upgrade.. if the homes in your area are not all upgraded like yours, then your place would be worth more, but not by much.. The only real way to tell is to pay for an appraisal. That will take all of the guess work out of the equation.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

As others have said the upgrades will help sell your property but it probably wont affect the value of your appraisal much. The appraiser just goes by other homes with the same amount of bedrooms and bathrooms that have recently sold in your area.

I have to agree with the majority you have improved some key areas of a home. The overall compensation will not be great in value for today's market. One can remodel a home with the finest furnishings, but if homes just like yours recently sold within the appraisal approved guidelines your new approved appraised value will show the in the results.
