Room-to-room remodeling
Call
it home improvement mania.
Americans
are obsessed with remodeling, expanding
and generally improving their homes.
They spent
an estimated $210 billion doing just
that in 2005, according to the Remodelors
Council of the National Association
of Home Builders, which projects spending
this year to increase to some $238 billion.
Why? Despite
much talk about a real estate "bubble,"
most homes are expected to continue
to appreciate at a healthy rate -- giving
homeowners yet more equity to tap for
renovations. Plus, if real estate markets
start to cool as anticipated, more people
may choose to fix up what they have
and stay put instead of moving.
With that
mania in mind, we assembled this room-by-room
interactive guide to the more common
home improvements and remodeling ideas
you may be considering for your home
this year.
