Top 5 Renovations That Add Value to Your Home in 2025
If you’re a homeowner in Greater Vancouver, you’ve likely thought about upgrading your home—either to enjoy it more now or to boost resale value later.
As a licensed home builder and real estate expert, I often get asked: “Which renovations are actually worth it?”
Here are 5 upgrades that consistently deliver strong returns in today’s market:
1. Kitchen Refreshes
You don’t need a full gut. Modern countertops, updated cabinet fronts, new lighting, and quality appliances can completely transform the space and attract buyers.
2. Bathroom Improvements
Replacing dated vanities, re-tiling showers, and installing better fixtures goes a long way. Even just improving lighting and mirrors can make bathrooms feel more high-end.
3. Curb Appeal Enhancements
First impressions matter. A fresh coat of paint, new front door, modern house numbers, or simple landscaping can make your home stand out.
4. Energy-Efficient Upgrades
Buyers are paying more attention to energy savings. Adding double-glazed windows, smart thermostats, or improved insulation can appeal to cost-conscious buyers and raise perceived value.
5. Smart Home Features
Tech is in. Keyless entry systems, smart lighting, and security cameras are affordable to install and give your home a modern edge.
Bonus tip! Every neighborhood is different. What’s worth doing in Kitsilano might be different from Abbotsford. If you’re planning to sell or just want a second opinion, I’m happy to walk through your home and give you honest feedback.
