A recent analysis across 147 U.S. housing markets found that repair costs, when measured against median income, can vary dramatically from one area to the next. Interestingly, these costs don\u2019t necessarily track with how fast home prices are rising. Instead, it turns out that your local job market and typical income levels say more about how heavy a burden repairs will be\u2014and how much risk homeowners might face\u2014than the price tag on the home itself. As someone who\u2019s always on the lookout for both value and opportunity, I help my clients weigh these factors so they\u2019re not caught off guard after the purchase. It\u2019s just one of the ways I strive to make the process smoother and more rewarding for families here in DFW.<\/p>\n<p>\t<a class=\"roomvu-news-continue\" href=\"https:\/\/www.housingwire.com\/articles\/remodeling-costs-affordability\/\"><\/p>\n<div>Continue to full article<\/div>\n<p>\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my experience working with buyers and sellers around DFW, one thing that often surprises homeowners is how much remodeling and repair costs can impact affordability\u2014sometimes in ways that aren\u2019t obvious at first glance.
