Inflation has driven up construction costs, so getting a Return on Investment (ROI) is harder than ever. Here is where the smart money is going in 2025:
1. Minor Kitchen Remodel (Highest ROI)
Don't gut it. Paint the cabinets, upgrade the hardware, replace the countertops with Quartz, and update lighting. This often returns 85-90% of cost.
2. Curb Appeal
First impressions matter. New garage doors and stone veneer siding replacements consistently rank in the top 3 separate cost-vs-value studies. If they don't like the outside, they won't pay top dollar for the inside.
3. Flooring Consistency
Buyers hate "choppy" flooring (tile in hall, carpet in living, wood in dining). Running Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) throughout the entire main level makes the home feel 20% bigger and much more modern.
