Generally speaking, increasing the functional space of your home holds its value longer than remodeling just to make a house look better. It's also much less expensive than adding an addition to your home. Converting attic space into a bedroom, for example, usually costs around $30,000 and returns about 73% of its cost, according to Remodeling magazine. Turning your basement into extra living space costs, on average, $40,000, with a recoup average of about 69% of your costs. You usually can't go wrong by adding an extra bathroom. At an average cost of $14,200, a new full bath can recoup 81% of its total cost! If you're looking to improve the appearance of your home for resale, or you just want an updated look for your own enjoyment, there are a few things you must consider before beginning any costly project. Sure, you can spend a lot on something purely for the personal pleasure of having it like that outdoor Jacuzzi under the attached gazebo or you can go the practical route and make an improvement that will increase your home's market value, such as installing energy efficient air-conditioning or repairing those shabby shingles. Be forewarned, however, and don't expect to recoup your costs on both counts. Many real estate brokers agree that just because you put $25,000 worth of improvements into your home doesn't mean that your house is worth $25,000 more! It does make your home more sell-able. Exactly how much of your investment you'll recoup depends on a number of factors, such as the "big picture" housing market, the value of the homes in your neighborhood, when you plan to sell and the exact nature of the improvement. Also, consider that the longer you live in your home after a project is completed, the less likely you are to recoup its value. Just try to convince a potential buyer that Harvest Gold is cutting edge. Below are some examples of a few improvements that usually pay off and some that rarely make a difference (no matter how much you paid for them) when it comes time to sell your home. With just a few basic improvements, your kitchen can practically pay you back with interest! 
New paint, wallpaper and flooring are always appreciated; plus, you might even consider sanding, staining or painting worn looking
cabinets. Replacing old cabinet hardware is a low-cost improvement that makes a big difference in appearance. According to Remodeling magazine, the average spent on major kitchen remodeling is around $39,000; refinishing an outdated one averaged $15,000. The full kitchen remodeling recouped 80% of its cost, the more moderate remodeling was valued at 87%. If you're planning to sell your home in a year or two, a fresh coat of a neutral toned paint could make the sale easier. A professional exterior paint job may also recoup close to 75% of its cost. Let's face it we all like things fresh looking.
