FAQ

The main difference between home remodeling and home renovation lies in the scope of work.

Renovation involves restoring or updating a space, focusing on aesthetics and minor repairs, like repainting or updating fixtures.

Remodeling changes the structure or layout, such as adding rooms or altering the design, often requiring more time, cost, and permits.

Whether it’s cheaper to buy a new home or remodel depends on various factors, including location, the extent of remodeling, and market conditions. Generally, remodeling can be more cost-effective if you love your home’s location and structure but want to update its features.

The cost to remodel a home varies widely based on the project’s scope, materials, and location. On average, a whole-house home remodel can range from $20,000 for minor updates to over $200,000 for more extensive renovations.

Home remodeling costs are generally not tax-deductible unless they are for medical purposes or involve energy-efficient upgrades. However, improvements can increase your home’s basis, potentially reducing capital gains taxes when you sell.

Upgrade your home with new tax rules on home renovations

You can finance a home remodel through various methods, including home equity loans, personal loans, refinancing, or using credit cards. Consider the interest rates and terms of each option to find the best fit for your financial situation.

 

Yes, you can. But as with any financial decision, there are several factors to consider. While using your home loan to renovate offers several benefits, it’s essential to assess your financial situation, explore your options thoroughly, consult with financial experts, and choose the approach that aligns with your financial goals and priorities.

A bathroom remodel can increase your home value by around 50-70% of the renovation cost. High-end remodels may offer a slightly lower return on investment compared to mid-range projects.

 

A kitchen remodel can increase a home’s value by 60-80% of the renovation cost. Investing in quality materials and modern, functional designs can maximize the return on your investment.

Home renovations that are tax-deductible typically include improvements for medical reasons, energy-efficient upgrades, or improvements that add to the cost basis of your home. Consult a tax professional for specific deductions applicable to your situation.
