Please read it and let me know your comments. According to a survey taken by HomeGain, homesellers hoping to turn a biger profit by making home improvements would do best to stick to moderately priced projects. The survey of real estate agents from acorss the nation found that home improvemnts in the $80 to $2,800 range yield the highest rate of return when the home sells. The biggest return is on simple lightening and brightening, which typicall costs about $80-$100 and gives an average return of 769% on the sale price. Other big winners were cleaning and de-cluttering (cost=$305-$339;; return=594%), landscaping and trimming (cost $432-$506; return=266%), and fixing, plumbing and electrical (cost $338-$381; return=196%).
