I'm always looking at the bottom line and what actually changes on the ground. I don't have much patience for fancy talk that doesn't lead to real results.

I'm not convinced that a minor remodel can recoup its full cost in increased home value. The article states that a 100% ROI is rare, yet it then claims minor remodels can hit that mark. From what I've seen in Austin, even the smaller updates struggle to get back every dollar invested when you factor in all the hidden costs and market fluctuations.

I don't think whole-house fans are the game-changer the article suggests; smart thermostats alone make a big difference.
