How bathroom and kitchen renovations increase property value

Home renovations are a significant investment, but they have a sizeable return when done right. Your remodel can also add function, efficiency, security and boost your lifestyle. If you’re thinking about a renovation, it’s worth considering its cost vs. value, in addition to those things.

Canadian Home Style in Vancouver is a full-service cabinetry and flooring retailer, specializing in complete kitchen and bathroom renovations. They share how your bathroom and kitchen renovations can increase property value.

The ROI of a bathroom renovation

While every home and renovation is different, we can rely on available data to give us a ballpark idea of what particular renovations add to property values. Remodel Magazine provides cost vs. data reports annually. This data is a good indicator of what you might spend and recover for a bathroom renovation.

For a midrange bathroom renovation, you can expect to recoup about 60% of your cost at resale. So, if you spend $10,000 on a bathroom remodel, you can add about $6,000 to the value of your home. In the example given in the report, this bathroom remodel cost about $24,000 and added $14,500 to the home’s resale value.

ROI of a kitchen renovation

Kitchen renovations are one of the most popular home renovations in the industry. Its popularity is because the kitchen is considered the heart of the home. People spend a lot of time in that space, and it’s important to homebuyers. Cooking, cleaning, dining, spending time with family, entertaining, and even working is all done in the kitchen. As such, a kitchen remodel can add more to the value of your home.

For a minor kitchen renovation, the cost vs. value report states you can recover more than 70% of your cost at resale. That is one of the highest returns on investments compared to other interior renovations you can do. A 200-square-foot kitchen received a $26,000 remodel in the example. The renovation recovered about $19,000.

Considering bathroom and kitchen renovations costs

Every home renovation is different, and a range of factors will determine its cost.  Factors include the size of the space, scope of the renovation, materials chosen, labour required, and permits required. For example, a complete cabinet replacement in the kitchen will cost more than cabinet refinishing. However, a cabinet replacement will improve function, storage, and value in many cases, so it’s worth considering. Likewise, choosing natural stone tile will cost more than luxury vinyl tile. When planning a renovation, it’s best to choose products that suit your budget and lifestyle.
