What renovations add the most value?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

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. Bathroom remodels recoup about 70 percent. Energy-efficient upgrades like new windows and insulation also add value.

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.
