Can home improvement bring a return when it is time to sell? Some projects can.

Remodeling Magazine posts a yearly report of 35 projects with their costs and return of value. This is the second-year-in-a-row that all 35 projects saw more home improvement dollars recouped upon the resale of the home than the previous year.
