Follow on Google News | North Dallas Home Values up over 10% for the Year - What Effect on Remodeling?Your North Dallas kitchen remodeling plans might soon be able to come off of hold. With home values jumping up and interest rates still low, now may be the perfect time to add on or remodel. Dallas builders hope to benefit from this news.
By: Unique Home Construction LLC This is certainly good news for those who bought at the top, or refinanced in the 2007. But it might really be good news to the building trades. While it may be possible to pay for a $30,000 kitchen remodel with your American Express Card or from savings, most folks seem to prefer to use their equity as the smart way to finance home improvements. With mortgage rates at historic lows, homeowners who have equity get a double benefit. According to Mike Sepik, owner of Unique Home Construction LLC, a Dallas based general contractor specializing in remodeling of everything from backyard patios to entire homes: "Depending on the interest rate on your current loan, you might be able to refinance your existing principle plus enough to add that room or refresh the kitchen, and end up with payments at the same amount as before. "A typical home in North Dallas might have a mortgage of $200,000. If your current interest rate is at 4.5%, your payments are going to be in the neighborhood of $1000 a month. If you were to add a $40,000 remodel to that home, thereby increasing your mortgage to $240,000, but get a 3.4% mortgage, your new monthly payment would be about $1000.00. "If the remodel adds at least $40,000 to the value to the home, you now have the same net worth, the same payment, and a more beautiful home," Sepik points out. Many homeowners in Dallas haven't realized that home prices are headed upwards. Speculators have entered the market, foreclosures are getting processed through to new owners, and the upward pressure on prices is helping those who were barely upside down to get some hope or to be in a position to sell. This in turn is creating more demand with very little supply.
