I've seen too many homes that have been poorly remodeled, or overly-remodeled for the neighborhood where they are located. I've also seen some really great remodeling jobs that brought the seller every penny back, plus some, when they sold. It mostly depends on the neighborhood and the quality of the remodel.

Many people decide to remodel and go way over the top. Sometimes it's though to explain that putting in that Brasilian marble doorknob costing $ 4000 is not going to improve the value of the house for $ 4000. Not even close...

The area that we wanted to be in had no new construction at all, so we really had no choice. I think that lots of people are against remodeling because they can't "picture it" before the project begins. I guess it really depends.

I was speaking to someone the other day that's into this kind of stuff, and he says it's a good time because the prices are so low at the minute, but it could also be a massive gamble and have a lot of property on your hands and you can't get rid of it! I think I'll hang out a little while first :) I was looking about getting into this kind of thing… I was speaking to someone the other day that’s into this kind of stuff, and he says it’s a good time because the prices are so low at the minute, but it could also be a massive gamble and have a lot of property on your hands and you can’t get rid of it!
