Don’t fall into a money pit with out-of-touch expectations on your ROI for house projects! If you’re thinking about remodeling or renovating your home, whether it’s a kitchen renovation, bathroom update, or a full home remodel, watch this before you spend a dollar.
Most homeowners assume remodeling, renovation and maintenance is a great investment…but the truth is, many projects don’t come close to a 100% return when it’s time to sell. In this video, I break down what home improvements actually add value, what doesn’t, and how to avoid costly mistakes.
You’ll learn:
➡️ The difference between remodeling vs renovation vs home maintenance, and which you should focus on.
💸 How much you should realistically spend on home improvements (including the 30% rule and 5–15% rule).
📈 Which remodeling projects have the best ROI—and which ones don’t.
🏡 How long you should stay in your home to avoid losing money.
⏳ What to focus on if you’re planning to sell your house in the next 1–3 years.
😍 Balancing your lifestyle and enjoyment with dollars spent.
Whether you’re upgrading your home to enjoy it or preparing to sell, this video will help you make smart, strategic decisions so you don’t over-improve or overspend.
Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just trying to understand the market, this video will help you understand where things stand, and where they could be heading next.
