Huh. I should probably improve it first.

I once found a national database of home improvements and the best ROI was a modern and attractive steel front door. It had a 99% ROI. It only got worse from there. I could not find that quickly. The first Google result was Zillow, which I did not feel was necessarily a good source. The second was Architecture Digest, which quoted Zillow.
They did a countdown, but I will get to the point:
- Midrange bathroom remodel. 171%. Let me post pictures of our bathrooms and you will agree.
- Mid-range window replacement: 115%. While Meet Kevin promotes fixing up homes, he says that many people overimprove and never recover their money. He specifically says that if the windows work, they are good enough.
- Family room addition: 107%. Would I get out of redoing the window trim?
- Story addition: 102%. This may cost $50,000, but you will probably break even.

I like the bathroom remodel, but spend money so that Mom needs to pay more real estate tax [only if we have the house assessed]?
By the way, I just noticed the fast-forward icon next to the "[quote]" part. Nice!
