 TITLE: Is Getting a Home Improvement Loan Worth It? CONTENT: How Do Home Improvements Affect Your Home's Value?\n--------------------------------------------------\nHomeowners often assume home improvements pay for themselves by boosting a home's value. However, it's important to know that home improvements won't increase your home's value dollar for dollar.\nRemodeling Magazine annually compiles the average cost and ROI of common home improvement projects. According to 2021 data, a minor kitchen remodel recoups 72% of its value; adding an upscale master suite has an ROI of just 48%.\nUnless you expect to sell soon, you should do home improvements to make your home more livable, not just because you think they will increase resale value. If you do plan to sell your home, a real estate professional can help you determine the most profitable improvements. END
