Renovations and improvements almost always increase a home’s value.  However, not every renovation contributes at the same rate.  In fact, your appraisers note many improvements do not contribute on a dollar-for-dollar basis.  To dispel a common misconception, what you pay may not translate to a direct increase in your appraisal’s market value.  It is recommended to start with renovations to the kitchen, then the baths, and then the basement.  These tend to provide the best returns on your investment.
