Your article says you lose money on a kitchen remodel.

"Many homeowners who complete midrange bathroom remodels can expect to
make money; the cost on a national average for this project is
$10,499, and the return is $10,727, or 102.2 percent, compared with
87.5 percent in 2002. On average, major midrange kitchen remodels cost
$43,862 and return $39,920, or 91 percent of the costs to remodel."
