Renovations That Won't Add Value to Your Home

Planning a big home renovation? Sure, you want to enjoy that new family room or home office. But before taking on a costly remodeling project, you need to consider how the improvements you are planning could hurt your home's resale value. It's true, certain home improvements will actually make it more difficult to sell your home. And when it's more challenging to move your home, you'll most likely have to reduce your asking price.Of course, if you don't plan on selling for years, you might not care about resale value. But if you don't see yourself living in your home for 10 or 15 more years, think carefully before adding that in-ground swimming pool or creating the ultimate home office.
