5 renovations with the best ROI on the Swedish market

5 renovations with the best ROI on the Swedish market

Not every renovation pays back at resale. Using thousands of completed sales across Sweden, Nezto has identified upgrades that most often correlate with a higher final price—and projects that frequently disappoint.

Renovations that tend to pay off

1. Kitchen refresh — Updated surfaces, appliances, and lighting often recover a large share of cost in urban markets.
2. Bathroom modernization — Ventilation, waterproofing, and contemporary fixtures reduce buyer discounting.
3. Flooring — Refinished hardwood or quality replacements signal move-in readiness.
4. Energy-related upgrades — Windows and insulation improvements appeal where running costs matter.
5. Cosmetic staging — Paint, lighting, and decluttering before photos can lift perceived value without major build-out.

Renovations to approach carefully

Highly personal choices (luxury spa baths, niche layouts) or over-improving relative to the neighbourhood often add less than their cost. Nezto Vision Engine highlights which factors matter most for your specific address—before you commit to a budget.
