-
Expensive technology. Although you might be enamored with having high-tech items and wiring in your home, not every buyer shares your feelings and since technology is ever-changing, it may become obsolete very quickly.
- A new roof (unless the old one leaks). Ever heard a buyer say, “Gee, what terrific shingles?”
- Features that rely on personal taste. It’s fine to install a hot tub, wine cellar, or personal gym for your own enjoyment, but it will not make your home worth more money and may reduce the property’s appeal to many buyers.
- Any features or items that outdo the neighbors. It never makes sense to over improve a property and although your house might be the only one in the neighborhood to have an in-ground pool, it probably won’t mean much when it’s time to sell.
