Will You Enjoy Your
Home More This
Summer?
When Money magazine asked this question a few
weeks ago, most readers selected one of these home
improvements:
• 30% wanted a pool. Money noted that many real
estate agents say an in-ground pool can add more than 5% to your home’s value, helping
you recoup some of the $33,500 average cost of installation.
Independence Day
Friday, July 4th
• 28% wished they had a deck. It’s a great place to relax or entertain, allowing you to add
the living space of another room without all the complications and expense. The average
wooden deck cost about $9,500 last year but added over $8,300 to home value, making it
the top feature in Remodeling magazine’s 2014 “Cost vs. Value” survey.
Labor Day
Monday, September 1st
• 26% longed for a screened-in porch. If mosquitoes, blackflies, or midges are a problem
in your area, this is a must for enjoying the outdoors. Construction costs will vary widely,
depending on whether it’s just a covered deck or an actual room with decorator touches.
• 16% would like an outdoor kitchen. A basic setup (grill and mini-fridge) costs $2,000
to $10,000. You can also splurge up to $100,000 on high-end amenities and appliances,
the Landscaping Network says.
If a home improvement like these is on your summer to-do list, we can provide the
financing to help make it happen. Because we’re owned by members like you, the interest
rates on our home equity loans and home improvement loans often beat those of local
banks.
Just as important, we’re always looking for ways to make our members’ lives better and add
value to our community. So stop by, won’t you, and let us know your plans? We’re ready to
help you enjoy a better summer at home more than ever before.
