What renovations add the most value to my home?

Kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, finished basements, new flooring, and improved curb appeal typically offer the best return on investment. Minor kitchen remodels recoup about 80 percent of costs. Adding a bathroom can increase your home's value significantly. Energy-efficient upgrades like new windows and insulation also appeal to buyers.

Why It Matters

Every dollar you spend on renovations does not automatically add a dollar to your home's value. Focus on projects that deliver the best return for your specific home and market.
