What renovations increase home value the most?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Kitchen remodels, bathroom additions or updates, finished basements, new siding, and replacement windows consistently offer strong returns. Minor kitchen updates and garage door replacements also rank high on the return on investment scale. The key is to match improvements to what buyers in your neighborhood expect. Over-improving for your area rarely pays off at resale.
Why It Matters
Choosing the right renovations can add tens of thousands to your sale price. Poor choices may cost more than they add.
