While not in our 50's yet, my wife and I are about to send our two kids off to college in the next 6 months which naturally has us thinking; "Do we stay in our 4 bedroom home just the two of us?"  We love the home and location, but things will definitely be different without the kids. What home improvements might we consider?

Like us as we approach the nest phase of our lives, more homeowners are taking on projects that will allow them to age comfortably in their current home, according to the “2017 Aging in Place Report” from HomeAdvisor. But they don’t like the term “aging in place.”

The two main reasons home-owners invest in remodeling are 1) to increase the value of the home and 2) to improve their enjoyment and comfort in the home. According to the third annual "Remodeling Impact Report" from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) and National Association of REALTORS® a new roof is still the best investment for both recouping cost and home enjoyment.
