Closet remodel
Return on investment: 57%
Whether you call it a sign of the times or just human nature, consensus among home buyers is that closets should be larger.

“People nowadays have a lot of junk. That is a good option if your home is conducive to it,” he says. “If it’s an easy build and doesn’t kill a bedroom, it can work, especially for the master bedroom. It works if it’s easy to do.”
