Did you know that according to a 2010 study, remodeling your kitchen will make for a 37,000$ increase in resale value? Considering the average household spends around 53,000$ on a major remodeling project, that’s a 70% return on investment, a great deal if you consider a new, modern kitchen might mean the difference between a sale and a fail.
