Value Added = Project Cost × ROI%
ROI data sourced from Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value Report (2024) and National Association of Realtors Remodeling Impact Report.
Interior paint (107%), garage door replacement (102%), and hardwood floor refinishing (100%) consistently have the highest ROI based on Remodeling Magazine's annual Cost vs. Value report.
A minor kitchen remodel (cabinet refacing, new counters, updated appliances) returns 85%. A major gut renovation returns only 54%. Minor remodels almost always win.
Most renovations increase value but rarely dollar-for-dollar. Expect 50-100% return depending on the project. The best ROI comes from cosmetic updates and curb appeal.
Focus on high-ROI, low-cost updates: paint, landscaping, hardware updates, and fixing deferred maintenance. Avoid major renovations right before selling.
