Zonda's 38th annual Cost vs. Value Report, released 9/18/2025 and covering 28 projects across 119 U.S. markets, puts a midrange minor kitchen remodel at $28,458 in job cost against $32,141 in value at sale — about 113% recouped. A midrange major kitchen remodel recoups about 51%. A midrange bathroom remodel, about 80%. These are national estimates of resale value, not sale prices, and not Utah numbers. Here's why the half-finished bathroom costs you twice: a buyer doesn't price the work you already did, they price the work that's left — and they price it at what a contractor would charge them, not what it would have cost you to finish it. #utahrealestate #sellingyourhome #homerenovation #homevalue #utahhomes Kelsey Earl, 801-419-8917, [email protected], Your lifelong friend in real estate 🌟
