Return on Investment~70% typical recoup · kitchen

Not a sunk cost.

Unlike most big purchases, a renovation stores most of its value in your home. Of your $112k midpoint, roughly 70% comes back as equity the day the work is done — and it appreciates from there.

True net cost$34,000

Effectively, you live in a transformed kitchen for $34k — the remaining $78k is waiting in your walls when you sell.
