The 6 Most Valuable Home Improvements

When it comes to home improvements, there are two big factors to consider when figuring out where to put your money: whether it’s something that will increase the value of the house to you and whether it’s something that will increase the value of the house to others, if and when you decide to sell your home. The most valuable home improvements are those that increase your home’s worth in fair relation to the amount you spent on them. And while the improvements that might be most worth it for you personally are subjective and hard to quantify, Remodeling magazine’s 2023 Cost vs. Value Report offers helpful national data on what home improvements give you the biggest bang for your buck. Here are 6 improvements to focus on.

Upscale garage door replacement

Manufactured stone veneer on exterior

Wood deck addition

The kitchen (within reason)

Siding and vinyl window replacements

Bathroom remodel

If you’re looking to make the best and most valuable home improvements, take a look at the 2023 Cost vs. Value Report and hone in on your specific region and city. While we’ve been looking at national data, specific upgrades may have more or less value depending on where you live. It’s always important to do the research instead of just assuming that something will definitely give you a return on your investment.
