Five renovations that don't come back at resale.

I appraise property in Cherokee County, which means I am the person who has to decide what your improvements are actually worth on paper. Not what they cost you. What they support.

A pool almost never returns what it took to put in. A sunroom addition rarely appraises as heated square footage. A luxury appliance package reads to the market as a nice kitchen, not a more expensive one. Converting the garage usually removes value. And a primary bath customised to your taste narrows your buyer pool.

None of that means don't do them. It means do them because you want them, not because you think you're investing.

If you're planning work before a sale, ask first. That conversation is free.

Today's rate, and what it actually means here.

At 6.72%, on a median Cherokee County purchase of $458,333 with 20% down, that's roughly *$2,371 a month* in principal and interest.

That's the number that matters — not the percentage, the payment.

I'm not going to tell you where rates are going. Nobody credible will. What I can tell you is what today costs, and whether that works against what you're trying to do.

*As of August 25, 2026.*

Note: $2,371 is principal + interest only on a 30-year loan; it does not include taxes, insurance, HOA, or other costs. The rate you actually qualify for can vary.

An automated estimate has never been inside your house.

It reads every sale near you, instantly. I use those tools too. But it doesn't know:

→ Your kitchen was resurfaced, not replaced
→ What your lot backs into
→ Your street's reputation

Use the estimate to get oriented. Use an appraisal when the number has to hold up to a lender, a negotiation, or a buyer's agent looking for a reason to come down.

Two tools, two jobs.

Twelve-month appreciation by zip code, Cherokee County.

Ranked, sourced from FMLS. One sentence of interpretation and nothing more: the spread between the top and bottom zip is wider this year than last, which matters if you bought expecting the county to move as one market.

Find your zip. If the number surprises you, that's usually worth a conversation.
