Nine Home Improvement Projects Worth Taking On In 2017

Home design trends are constantly changing and evolving, so it can be difficult to decide which home improvement projects are worth the time and money. Redfin (www.redfin.com), the next-generation real estate brokerage, dug into listing data to find out which home trends are becoming more popular, which are holding steady and which are a thing of the past.

"Homebuyers don't want to have to change anything after they purchase a home. So, a home could sell faster and for more money if a homebuyer sees that a home was recently upgraded and won't need to be remodeled anytime soon," says Timothy Maller, a Redfin real estate agent in Baltimore. "That's why picking the right home improvement project to tackle before listing could make a big difference in how long the home stays on the market and the final sale price."

Here are the three top hottest trends to keep in mind for 2017:

1. Quartz
2. Smart Home Technology
3. Built-in Bars
