Will my estimated market value go up if I repair my property?
Good maintenance will help retain the market value of your property. Generally, your estimated market value will not be increased for individual minor repairs such as those that follow. However, a combination of several of these items could result in an increase in your estimated market value.
  • Replacing water heater
  • Repairing or replacing roof
  • Repairing porches or steps
  • Repairing original siding
  • Painting/decorating
  • Replacing plumbing or electrical fixtures
