New Kitchens Help Sell Homes, But New Roof & Windows Get Better Return

By , on October 12th, 2017

The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) just released it’s 2017 Remodeling Impact Report, in which they rank Kitchen Renovation and Upgrade at the top of their list for appeal to buyers as well as for most likely value to the home for resale.  Next on the list, in both categories, was Bathroom renovation.

According to the report:

  • The average cost of a kitchen upgrade was $35,000 and, on average, added $20,000 to the value of the home, for a recovery rate of 57% of the cost.
  • The average cost of a complete kitchen renovation was $65,000 and, on average, added $40,000 to the value of the home, for a recovery rate of 62% of the cost.

Exterior improvements appear to be the better investment, however, with a New Roof ranking #1 on the list for both buyer appeal as well as increasing resale value, followed by New Vinyl Windows.

According to the report:

  • The average cost of a New Roof was $7,500 and, on average, added $8,150 to the value of the home, for a recovery rate of 109% of the cost.
  • The average cost of New Vinyl Windows was $18,975 and, on average, added $15,000 to the value of the home, for a recovery rate of 79% of the cost.
