FAQ
What does "recoup" mean in this context?
It's the percentage of a renovation's cost that's typically recovered in a home's increased resale value — recouping 65% of a $15,000 project means the home is worth about $9,750 more, not the full amount spent.
Which renovations typically recoup the most value?
Projects like minor kitchen updates and curb appeal improvements often recoup a higher percentage than large, highly personalized projects like luxury additions.
Does this account for my local market?
No — this uses typical national recoup ranges by project type; actual value added varies significantly by local market conditions.
