About Resivane
Resivane uses national construction cost data from NAHB and RSMeans combined with local market resale impact from NAR and Census ACS to help you understand whether a renovation will increase your home value more than it costs -- before you spend a dollar.
Every year, homeowners spend over $400 billion on home improvements -- yet most have no idea whether their renovation will pay for itself at resale. A kitchen remodel in one market might return 120% of its cost while the same project in another market returns only 60%. Without local data and probabilistic modeling, homeowners are flying blind on one of their largest investments.
We ingest contractor cost benchmarks from RSMeans and HomeAdvisor, resale impact data from NAR Remodeling Impact Reports, local appreciation rates from FHFA HPI, and permit data from Census Building Permits Survey. For each renovation scenario, we run a Monte Carlo simulation of 10,000 outcomes varying material costs, labor rates, and resale multipliers. The result is a probability-weighted ROI range -- not a single misleading number.
We use authoritative data sources -- NAHB, Census ACS, RSMeans, and NAR Remodeling Impact Reports. Every ROI estimate traces back to published datasets and real contractor pricing.
Renovation ROI analysis has been locked behind contractor guesswork and realtor opinions. We make the math accessible to every homeowner considering a project.
Not every renovation pays for itself. Our Monte Carlo simulations show the full distribution of outcomes so you understand both the upside and the risk of overcapitalizing.
Every feature available to homeowners is also available through our REST API. Build renovation ROI analysis into your own real estate or home improvement applications.
Resivane is a product of Smart Technology Investments LLC, a research-driven company building decision intelligence tools that help consumers make better financial decisions using data that was always available but never accessible.
