Put it into practice

Read the numbers wisely.

01

Value added is an estimate

It's not an appraisal or a prediction. Local comps and your home's condition matter more than any average.

02

Cost recovery is not profit

A project that recovers 90% of its cost still costs you 10%, plus the hassle. Few projects pay for themselves.

03

Comfort counts, too

If you'll enjoy a project for years before selling, its value isn't only measured at resale.
