Everyone knows that a kitchen or bathroom remodel will increase the value of your home, but did you know that a finished basement can do the same? In 2022, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) conducted their Remodeling Impact Report. The study concluded that converting a basement to a living area was among the top-four interior remodeling projects that yielded a return on investment (ROI).
While this report estimated that you could expect to recover about 86% of your investment when you sell your house, a 70% ROI is more likely the average for a finished basement. This number will vary depending on what features and functionality your finished basement includes. For example, a basement with a full bathroom, kitchenette and a bedroom will yield a higher ROI than a basement that has a craft room, workout space or office.
