According to Money Magazine, real estate values are falling, but so are prices for building materials and contractors's fees. It may be the wrong time to sell, but it is definitely the right time to remodel. CalFinder-certified contractor Randy Angeloci says, Prices will never be better than they are right now. Everyone, myself included, has taken a sharp pencil to all their projects and products. All the remodelers I know are charging their lowest prices ever and you can'st beat them. The investment now will be to the homeowners's advantage when the tide turns and everything changes again.
Just two years ago, it was nearly impossible to get a reputable contractor'ss attention; they were all booked up. Today, the same contractors are hungry for business. Money Magazine
recommends you strike a bargain when you remodel. According to Money Magazine'ss Home Renovations on Sale (http://money.cnn.com/2008/11/18/real_estate/renovations_sale.moneymag/index.htm), You'sll have the
most leverage in the areas that have been hit hardest by the housing slump.
A great place to find local contractors without doing any work is CalFinder Remodeling Contractors (http://www.calfinder.com). Calfinder matches

It'ss time to take your remodeling seriously. While you won'st get an 87% return on investment like you could in 2005, you will still earn two thirds of your investment back in the price
of your home.
