Thinking about adding a deck or revamping the kitchen so you can up the price of your home before you sell? You might want to crunch the cost vs. value numbers, complied by Remodeling magazine, before you do. The data is searchable by region and provides average prices, resale value, and the percent recouped for most major home improvement projects. Bottom line: unless you do the work yourself, you’ll probably get less out than you put in, so plan on sticking around to enjoy it.
