watch nowMost homeowners are planning to remodel at some point down the road, but not everyone will get their money's worth in improved home value. Of all home improvement projects, the most popular are sparkling bathroom overhauls, according to newly released data from the Contractor Growth Network, followed by big-ticket kitchen and basement renovations. The projects offering the greatest returns in resale value are not new kitchens and baths, but rather projects related to a home's curb appeal. A minor kitchen remodeling — such as painting and updating the backsplash — did provide high returns, but major kitchen and bathroom renovations did not, the Zonda survey found. The average homeowner shelled out $3,890 on renovations and remodeling in the past year alone, the report found.

The average homeowner shelled out $3,890 on renovations and remodeling in the past year alone, the report found. In some cases, they may get that money back when it's time to sell, but not all home renovations deliver the same return on investment. Overall, homeowners are getting just a 60% return on their renovation investments, according to the recently released 2023 Cost vs. Value report from Zonda Media, a housing market research and analytics firm. A minor kitchen remodel — like painting and updating the backsplash — did provide high returns, but major kitchen and bathroom remodels did not, the Zonda survey found. Even though both construction and financing costs are up, this decade could be "the golden age of remodeling," Tomalak said.
