🛠 Projects that add the most value at resale are the favorites of fix-it-and-flip-it professionals—and they should be high on a homeowner’s list, too. While these upgrades will not recoup all of their cost, some will come close.
🏠 The National Association of Realtors (NAR) cites wood flooring (new or refinished), kitchen renovations (new countertops and state-of-the-art appliances), upgraded bathrooms, and basement or attic conversions as projects with some of the highest return on investment, often recouping 80% or more of their cost at resale. Certain exterior work—including roofing, siding, doors, windows, refurbished decks, and energy upgrades—also delivers a lot of bang for the buck at resale.
