Renovation mistakes with little return on investment

Are you planning to renovate your home before you sell? Before you start, you should avoid these investments as they do not have a great return on investment.

Most individuals renovate their homes before they sell to increase the overall value of the home. Wise investments include additional bathrooms and bedrooms. However, there are several common investments individuals make that amount to a quick sell.

Swimming Pools
A swimming pool is a luxury investment, not all homeowners can afford. The main reason pools are unpopular in a resell is that they require a large amount of maintenance and frequent investment. Further, many would prefer to use the space for other activities, expecially for homes with little yard space. Unmaintained pools can also decrease the ease at which your home sells.

Home Theatres
One might consider home theatre systems as an ideal investment in a modern home. Nevertheless, this proves to be a futile move in many cases. Many home buyers would prefer to use the room as an extra bedroom. For this reason, we would not recommend spending money on such a venture.

Gyms
Just like home theatres, gyms are another investment that does not have a great return on investment. Before making an investment, think of the general public and determine whether a home gym would suit a generic buyer.

Creating Larger Rooms
Removing a room to create a larger room can also be a renovation mistake when trying to sell your home. Majority of buyers are looking for a number of rooms and are not necessarily looking at the size of the room.

Rendering
Although rendering looks beautiful and can completely transform a home, rendering before you sell can be an unwise move. If your façade needs an update opt for painting or house washing, these activities can have the same effect without the price tag.
