What home improvements increase property value?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Kitchen and bathroom remodels, adding a bathroom, finishing a basement, improving curb appeal, replacing old windows, and updating flooring consistently add value. The key is matching improvements to what buyers in your price range and neighborhood expect. Over-improving for your area rarely pays off.
Why It Matters
Strategic improvements can increase your home's value by more than they cost. Poorly chosen improvements may add nothing to the sale price.
