Upgrade your home’s siding and boost your resale value

Rising home prices and elevated interest rates may have more people deciding to renovate the home they’re in rather than purchasing a new home. Yes, renovations can be expensive and stressful, but there are some improvements you can make without breaking your budget, and upgrading your home’s siding is one of them. And here’s the bonus: When you do decide to sell your house, you’ll recoup more than 80% of the cost!

Here are a couple of examples:

Example of fiber-cement siding, resembling shake shingles.

Fiber-cement siding

a.        Average cost: $20,619

b.        Average resale value: $18,230

c.        Cost recouped: 88.4%

For the average home, replacing 1,250 square feet with new fiber-cement siding will cost you $20,619 and you can expect to get back almost 90 percent of that investment upon resale. This upgrade includes 4/4 and 5/4 trim (4/4 and 5/4 are fractions measuring thickness).

Example of vinyl siding.

Vinyl siding

a.        Average cost: $17,410

b.        Average resale value: $13,957

c.        Cost recouped: 80.2%

Vinyl siding can be more budget-friendly than fiber-cement siding, though it has a slightly lesser ROI. The $17,410 average cost estimates replacing 1,250 square feet with the new siding, and you should get back roughly 80 percent of that investment upon resale.
