Maximize the Return on your Investment – Remodel your Kitchen

If you want to increase the resale value of your home, consider remodeling your kitchen or bathroom. The kitchen and the bathroom involve the most emotion when a prospective buyer is shopping for a new home. If the kitchen of a home is already in great shape, buyers will usually be willing to spend a little more on the purchase price.

An average kitchen remodel will get you 80% to 90% return on your investment when it’s time to sell your house. This is an amazing rate of return on any investment! An ROI of 100% or more is not inconceivable. But even if you don't reach that mark, consider the livability that your kitchen remodeling or decorating project will mean to you, if you're planning on living in the home for a while. Chances are, you might love your new kitchen so much that you change your mind about moving.

There's no point remodeling a kitchen without replacing appliances in need of repair. The appliances - refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, etc. can account for a significant part of the budget. Return on investment factors in here too, since quality appliances satisfy buyers looking for a home that is ready to live in.

Usually you can expect a lower return on investment for more major remodeling projects due to the increased cost involved in a major remodeling project. If a kitchen has been neglected or is dilapidated you can expect a lower return on investment because much of the cost is consumed by bringing the kitchen to a livable standard.

To summarize, a kitchen remodeling project can greatly increase the value of your home, and make it sell faster. Return on investment may, or may not be important to you depending on if the project is for your own satisfaction or for selling the home. But do be careful that your project does not price your home out of the neighborhood.
