How do you decide whether to stay, move, or renovate?

Your home is one of the largest investments you'll make in life. Not only is it a sizable financial investment, but where you live is an investment in your family, health, and happiness. What do you do when your current living situation isn't working? How do you weigh the pros, cons, and ROI when faced with a decision to stay, go, or reno? 

In today's episode, we speak with Kim Costa, Global Real Estate Advisor for Sotheby's International, about her upcoming book, Live in Your Wheelhouse. It discusses the Wheelhouse Method, an assessment Kim developed to help homeowners make big life decisions. We explore the wheel's eight areas and how you can use the assessment to partner with a realtor or contractor. Kim describes the renovations that have the largest ROI and how she calculates resale value. We also touch on the top real estate trends for 2026, including the market for homes that support multi-generational living, complete with a few Daniel Builders project photos.

If you're facing a decision to stay, go, or reno, we hope this episode will help!
