Adding Value To Your Home By Remodeling Your Kitchen and Bath

Installing a wine cellar or home gym may sound like fun, but if you are really looking to get the most bang for the buck, home improvement projects that anyone can appreciate, such as a remodeled kitchen or bath, tend to boost sales price/real estate value the most.

Many families are entertaining more at home and are moving toward open concept kitchens. They can be simple and sophisticated, charming vintage or a more elaborate, European style.

Quick Remodeling Budget Tip:
Having a beautiful, functional kitchen will be the defining room in your home. So, consider beginning with 15% of your current home value as the starting remodeling budget for the kitchen and approximately 8% for your master bath renovation project.

A major kitchen remodeling project adds approximately 72.1% of its value back (return on investment) into your home’s value.

When considering adding a bathroom to your home, creating a master bathroom is the most lucrative. Most homeowners prefer having the convenience of a dedicated bathroom. When considering resale, your home will be worth more and easier to market with a master en suite bathroom. This type of bathroom remodel is considered by experts to be the best value for your remodeling dollar.

A remodeled bathroom can add approximately 71% of its value based on a national average.*
