What ROI can I expect from a kitchen renovation?

Minor kitchen remodels return 70–80% of cost at resale on average. Major renovations return 60–70%. The biggest gains come from functional improvements over cosmetic upgrades.

Should I renovate before selling or reduce the price?

Generally, targeted updates like fresh paint, hardware, and countertops return more than their cost. Full gut renovations rarely recover costs unless the kitchen is severely dated.
