If you are considering making a home improvement to your Western MA home, you may wonder what that improvement will do to the bottom line of your home’s value.
Some renovations make a bigger impact than others and it is smart to know an estimate of the value before making the investment. Even if you aren’t thinking of selling your Western MA home now, it makes sense to keep up to date on market values.
I have access to a tool that can calculate a reliable figure for most common home improvements.
“Hanley Wood, a provider of housing development market data, is the source of the home improvement data that supports (the) “Refine Value Based on Home Improvement”. Hanley Wood is known for collecting and aggregating residential and commercial construction data, and for publishing magazines such as Remodeling.
The home improvement data are produced at a regional level, and refactored at the ZIP code level for the most accurate results. The data are updated annually.”
The tool supports improvements from window replacements, decks, kitchen renovations and even additions.
