Sherry Tyra: Remodeling your home not only enhances your personal comforts it also increases its value and its time to sell. Here are a few things to consider.

Bathroom remodels are at the top of any home owner's list, and can be accomplished with the things as small as not changes or new wallpaper. If you go with a full remodel of cabinets, fixtures, and flooring you can get as much as 75% to 100% of your cost back at the time of sale.

Kitchens are big selling points and swapping in energy efficient appliances will reduce to your current energy cost as well as appeal to buyers. Replace all the appliances with stainless steel to create a cohesive and updated space.

Changing out your front door quickly boosts your home style and will welcome buyers as the first thing they see. Use bright colors or unique draw to create a wonderful first impression and enjoy coming home to a little pop-up style that will always bright new day.

Flooring is one of the first things noticed by home buyers and nothing says smart remodel like installing hardwood floors. It's likely to raise your selling price and it'll make your house more appealing.

With these tips in mind you can make some smart decisions that will help payoff with your renovation in your everyday life in your everyday life as well as in the future.
