I get this question all the time when I am in the field. Is it worth it to add a deck, redo my kitchen, or remove my wallpaper and paint? There are a few rule of thumbs when it comes to investing in your home:
1) Kitchens and bathrooms are the best investments
2) Cosmetic changes that are low cost and low time investment often have nice payouts
3) Addressing structural changes may not push up your market value but will fight off a hit in the negotiations after the inspection.
Do you have a specific question? Feel free to chime in and I will answer any specific questions you have.
