Home Improvement Tips in the Current Economy

June 3rd, 2009 by admin

The slow economy is effecting real estate in more areas than sales - tighter budgets are prompting more homeowners to reconsider their definition of home improvement. Instead of adding new features, current homeowners are more likely to improve, refinish, or repairing what they already have. Rather than completely remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, for example, they are replacing countertops or refacing cabinets. Another trend is to invest money into making a home more energy-efficient.

Tight budgets, strict lending standards, and home sales prices that continue to fall are contributing to an expected 12% decline in home improvement spending for 2009. For low-cost home improvement ideas that you can do yourself, go to http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/home-improvement/small-change1.asp.

If you have tips or advice on home improvement projects that save money, I’d love to hear them. Leave you comments, and come again soon!
