Why Remodeling Often Makes More Sense Than Moving
When your home no longer fits your needs, you have two options: remodel or move. In Salem's current housing market, remodeling frequently comes out ahead for several practical reasons.
The median home price in Salem is approximately $420,000 as of early 2026. When you factor in real estate commissions (typically 5-6%), closing costs, moving expenses, and the higher mortgage rate you would lock in today compared to your existing rate, the total cost of moving often exceeds the cost of a significant remodel.
Remodeling also lets you stay in your neighborhood, keep your commute, and maintain your children's school enrollment. You get exactly what you want in a home rather than compromising on what is available for sale.
- Avoid 5-6% in real estate commissions on your current home's sale
- Keep your existing mortgage rate -- often significantly lower than current rates
- Customize every detail rather than settling for what is on the market
- No need to uproot your family from schools, neighbors, and community
- Add value to an asset you already own
