Kitchen Renos Kelowna: Return of Investments
As we enter the fall season, you may be ready for fresh, new change in your home. So, if you’re considering a Kelowna kitchen renovation, what are the key areas you should focus on to add optimal value to your home?In addition to adding value to your home, renovating your kitchen can also improve your everyday life.
Experts estimate that the amount invested in a kitchen should never exceed 15% of the total property value. For instance, for a home valued at $500,000, your kitchen renovation should not exceed $75,000. That might seem like a large amount of money, but the estimated return at resale is about 75%.
Keep in mind that this amount remains relative. Your ROI may be higher if your kitchen is already in good shape. It may be lower if your kitchen requires a substantial amount of work. Accent renovations can assess your kitchen and provide you with an estimate and recommendations before you dive into your Kelowna kitchen renovations.
