Whether you recently purchased a fixer-upper or you're getting ready to sell, home remodels are one of the most effective ways to boost the value of your property. But choosing which room to renovate can be difficult. According to a recent report by Houzz, there are certain spaces homeowners prioritize when it comes to renovations and remodels.
The home improvement website recently released its 2024 Houzz & Home Study, which found that renovations have been at the top of many homeowners' minds recently. According to the report, renovation spending has surged in the past three years, with the median spending up by 60 percent between 2020 and 2023—from $15,000 to $24,000, respectively.
