You've been pining (and pinning inspo photos) over those kitchen updates, new flooring, or freestanding bathtub. And, since you're a rational human, you're probably also wondering, œWhat renovations add value to my home? Carefully planned renovations can help you sell your home more easily. However, not all renovations will get you the homebuyer attention (or equity perk-up) you're hoping for. In the end, it's important to evaluate whether the renovations will provide you with an efficient return on investment (ROI). This means that the money spent on the renovation itself must reasonably balance the perceived value added to the home.

You might as well enjoy those upgrades for as long as possible before cashing in on your hard work.

Due to recent legislation, Americans looking to (re)enter the housing market are reading sensational headlines about a significant change in how homes are bought and sold.

The catalyst for all this brouhaha? A $418 million settlement reached by the National Association of Realtors in response to an antitrust lawsuit. This decision is set to abolish the longstanding and widespread practice of expecting buyer and seller agent commissions to be paid from the seller's net proceeds. The legal action stems from a staggering $1.8 billion verdict in Kansas City, Mo., which cited industry practices that as the plaintiffs argued artificially inflated commission rates.
