Which Renovations Actually Add Value? Australian ROI Guide 2025
The Australian home renovation market is now worth over $48 billion — a 13% increase from 2024. But with 65% of homeowners renovating within five years of purchase, the question isn't whether to renovate, but what to renovate for maximum return.
Kitchen renovations deliver 60-80% ROI in most Australian metro markets, with mid-range updates ($15,000-$40,000) typically outperforming luxury overhauls. Bathrooms follow closely at 50-75% ROI. But the highest ROI renovation of all? A full house repaint at $6,000-$14,000.
The key risk is overcapitalisation — spending more than your suburb ceiling supports. HomeLog's Renovation ROI Estimator uses your property data and local comparables to suggest renovations sorted by expected return, with overcapitalisation warnings built in.
