per cent.


• Replacing 1,250-square feet of siding with new fiber siding can cost $13,000, but homeowners can expect to recoup 80 per cent of that cost at resale.


• Replacing 10 existing double-hung windows with vinyl low-e glass windows is valued at $14,000, and the return can be between 68 and 73 per cent.


There are even renovations that seem like good ideas but can actually hurt the resale value of a home. MSN Money lists these projects as money-wasters for those who want to sell soon.


• Lavish lighting fixtures can look dated in a few years when trends change.


• Wallpaper or textured walls


can be notoriously hard to change, and buyers know that.


• Kitschy renovations, such as 1950s diner tiles, may appeal to only a select number of people. Neutral renovations are better if resale is the goal.


• Many real estate experts warn against converting a bedroom into anything other than a bedroom — even for the purposes of a home office. Such conversions can immediately devalue the property. The same can be said about combining two small bedrooms into one larger space.


Homeowners should investigate potential renovations before committing the time and money to something that may offer little value at resale.
