FAQ
Common Questions About Home Renovation ROI
Everything you need to know about estimating the return on your home improvements.
How does the renovation ROI calculator estimate returns?
The calculator uses national cost-vs-value data adjusted by market tier (Major Metro, Suburban, Small Town, Rural) and home type. Each improvement has a base ROI range that is scaled by a market multiplier.
Are these estimates accurate for my local market?
These estimates are directional guides based on industry-average data, not appraisals. Actual returns depend on your specific neighborhood, the quality of work, contractor pricing, and current buyer preferences.
Which home improvements have the highest ROI?
Consistently high-ROI improvements include minor kitchen remodels, landscaping and curb appeal, fresh interior paint, and deck additions.
Should I renovate before listing my home for sale?
It depends on the market and condition of your home. In a hot seller's market, deep renovations before listing often don't yield a return.
How does AllBetter help with home improvement projects?
AllBetter's HomeFix app lets you post any home improvement project and receive 3+ bids from verified, identity-verified local contractors.
Can I use this calculator for an investment property?
Yes — select "Multi-Family / Investment" as your home type and choose the appropriate market tier.
