You may have seen in the news on Friday that the National Association of Realtors has agreed to a settlement regarding a class action lawsuit brought by home sellers. As with all class action lawsuit settlements, it is subject to court approval, which is expected in the next couple of months.

Now that the winter is here and we’re all inside more of the time than usual, you may be feeling that your home is a bit cramped. If so, you’re not alone. One in four people say they’ve outgrown their home.
 
This month we're sharing some information on why and how people decide to renovate their homes. It could be an easy fix, like reconfiguring existing rooms or a much bigger project, such as building an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or adding a second story. We’ve also included typical costs for these projects as well as the ROI. (Of course, costs will vary based on scope of project and location.)
 
We hope you find this information useful, and if you need a professional to help you with any home renovations, feel free to reach out and we’ll connect you to one in my trusted network.
