When people remodel their homes, they may be thinking resale value, but they’re also making themselves and their families happier. Upgrading appliances or updating fixtures can give homeowners an increased enjoyment in their homes, as well as a sense of accomplishment.
These are some of the findings found in the 2015 Remodeling Impact Report from the National Association of Realtors and the National Associaton of Remodelers. It notes that once remodeling projects are completed, 64% of homeowner respondents found “increased enjoyment” in their homes, 75% had a sense of accomplishment and more than 50% were happy about the changes made.
