Three Home Improvements to Avoid When Selling Your House

Couple stressed while standing in home repair 

If you decide to sell your house you want to make sure it looks great to increase your return on investment.  You might choose to renovate, but be careful because not all renovations are a good idea.  Here are three renovations that are not worth the time and money:
  

1.      Installing a pool.  You might think it's a good idea to install a pool because you like swimming, but not everybody does.  Owning a pool can be a hassle to maintain, so not that many people care about having one, especially if they have small children as it can be a safety hazard, unless it's surrounded by a fence.

2.      Adding an expensive upgrade such as a wine cellar or a jacuzzi.  These things don't appeal to everybody and most people aren't willing to pay more for them.

3.      Creating a room for a certain purpose.  You might enjoy playing music or you might work from home, but that doesn't mean your potential buyers will.
