Homeowners investing in remodeling often wonder if they’ll ever see those funds again when it’s time to sell. Although the answer is best evaluated on a case-by-case basis, REMODELING magazine has published these figures—specific to Nashville—to inform middle Tennessee homeowners of what type of return they can expect on their remodels. The top three most valuable changes are adding attic insulation, updating the kitchen (countertops, appliances, fixtures, cabinets, backsplashes, lighting), and adding an exterior manufactured stone veneer. Adding a backup generator or a bathroom were among the least lucrative investments to make, and should only be done for personal benefit as opposed to raising resale value.
