Avoid These Home Improvement Projects
In addition to being a poor investment, these projects will often hurt the future sale of your home:
- Turning a bedroom into another type of space
- Installing an above ground pool
- Not keeping paint colors neutral
- Installing a hot tub
- Creating themed children’s bedrooms
When making changes or improvements to your home, always ask the question; how will this affect my home’s value and marketability when it’s time to sell?
