Getting the best ROI on home improvements…It’s a conversation I have often with my investors, those thinking of selling and those just buying a home. Which projects will bring them the greatest return? At the end of the day we all want our investments to be made wisely and those that entail quite a bit of sweat equity behoove even greater forethought before diving in!
The ROI on home improvements isn’t always about money however. Often the joy you get when you wake up in a home you love more and more with each project you complete IS the greatest “return.” To me, loving the space you are in trumps any financial kickback you will benefit from upon selling. But since so many of us crave the “down low” on which projects bring the greatest ROI, let’s dive in and take a look! I’ve attached the ROI percentage as well as the estimated cost to complete each project. Which projects you then want to take on will be a personal choice and I support each and every one!
