Cost vs. Value: Which Home Improvements Offer the Highest ROI in 2017? #homeownership #realestate

Source:  Housecall

The 29 projects found on this year's Cost vs. Value Report by Remodeling Magazine paid back an average of 64.3 cents on the dollar in resale value.  Looking at the 24 most tracked projects (projects consistently tracked for the last six years), their payback for 2017 was also 64.3 cents - only three-quarters of a penny higher than 2016 projections.

Why the little change?  Simply put:  the differences in underlying numbers was minimal year to year.  The average cost for those 24 projects rose a meager 3 percent, while the value that real estate professionals put on said projects only rose 4.2 percent.
