IMPROVEMENTS VS VALUE: WHAT REALLY ADDS UP?
Not all home improvements are created equal, and not all upgrades increase property value.
In this course, I will explain how to distinguish between cosmetic enhancements and value-adding improvements. Students will learn how to analyze renovations objectively, determine market reaction, and avoid common appraisal pitfalls when reporting property changes.
We'll cover example scenarios, market trends, and measurable ways to assess value impact using cost vs. contributory value principles. This course is designed to give agents a clearer understanding of how to list homes in line with the market.
