Even if homeowners decide to remain in place and improve rather than move, they should make home improvements that increase their homes’ value to the next buyer. While a recent survey by a nationally known decorating and design website finds that more than half of homeowners (53 percent) say that they will remodel with value in mind, even the most popular remodeling projects provide only partial payback on initial investment upon sale. According to a 2015 Cost vs. Value report on remod- eling, homeowners recoup 70 percent on the cost of a bathroom remodel and 68 percent on a minor kitchen remodel. To maximize their return, homeowners should remodel with materials and designs that prospective buyers could see themselves using.
