ROI: ~75–85%

⸻

💰 Projects With LOWER ROI (Surprisingly)

These are great for lifestyle but not resale value:

❌ Luxury kitchen remodels
❌ High-end master suites
❌ Swimming pools (region dependent)
❌ Over-customization
❌ Wall-to-wall carpeting upgrades

⸻

⭐ Realtor Insight (Especially for South Jersey Markets)

Buyers today prioritize:
• Move-in readiness
• Energy efficiency
• Neutral finishes
• Strong curb appeal
• Functional kitchens/baths over luxury

Homes that look updated but not overbuilt for the neighborhood sell fastest and closest to asking price.
