Yabbut those averages include people whose houses already had perfectly good versions of the thing they replaced, they just wanted a different style and are under the foolish belief that their personal taste will appeal to everyone.
Our first house was a deliberate fixer-upper; we put less than $15,000 into remodeling, including they hypothetical cost of labor which we actually did ourselves for free... and sold it for $64,000 more than the original price.
Then again, the wooden deck we added cost a damn sight less than $10,707, so who knows what crack this list is smoking.
