A Swimming Pool
Notes:
- While swimming pools can serve as a selling point for some potential buyers, they can also have the opposite effect. When some potential buyers see a pool, all they think about is how much work they will have to do to maintain it.
- If you live in a colder climate where the pool is only usable for a few months every year, there is even less of a chance that it will impact the home’s market value favorably.
- Plus, even if a pool does increase the selling price of your home, the added value likely won’t come close to covering the pool’s high cost of installation. As such, you’ll probably end up losing money on your investment either way.
-
Some “I need a pool” considerations illustrated by the photo above: [ scroll back up ]
- swimming pools are a big seller in warmer climates like Florida and California – so your home will have a greater value
- if you decide to install a pool, an in-ground pool has a better ROI than an above-ground pool
- above-ground pools are a buyer turn-off – unless the above ground pool is surrounded by a deck with landscaping
- make sure your pool is large enough for the family to enjoy a swim and pool play – but not so big that the pool becomes a costly affair to keep up.

A Luxury Kitchen
Notes:
- Sure, a nice kitchen is often highly attractive to potential buyers. A luxury kitchen, however, doesn’t always make for the best investment. Splurging on all the latest appliances and high-end countertops will typically cost you a lot more money than it will ultimately make you when it comes time to sell.
- Unless you live in a very wealthy neighborhood, you will probably have a hard time recouping such a substantial investment. In most cases, you’re probably better off investing in a more modest kitchen upgrade. [same win]

What are some modest kitchen ideas from the photo above: [ scroll back up ]
- hanging pot rack
- island with plumbed kitchen sink
- connected space for use of a kitchen monitor for recipes, shopping, and other
- plenty of overhead lighting – is space is an issue, use recessed lighting
- flooring options that might include luxury wood vinyl – great for kitchens

Elaborate Landscaping
Notes:
-
Keep It Simple:
Many homeowners are interested in renovations that will save them money in the long-run. As such, renovations that require high upkeep costs, such as elaborate landscaping, often turn many potential buyers off.
- While a nice, manicured lawn is one thing, intricate shrubbery and other elaborate landscaping features are another.
-
Let the Buyer Decide:
Unless the person looking at your house has a green thumb and a fair amount of time on their hands, they may need to pay someone to attend to the intricate landscaping layout.
- To avoid such costs, they’ll probably just end up redoing the landscaping to suit their preferences, which means you probably won’t get a substantial return on your investment.

Installing Carpeting
Notes:
- Another home renovation that usually isn’t worth the money is wall-to-wall carpeting. [same win]Carpeting often traps dirt, dust, and allergens and is difficult to keep clean. Plus, it also retains moisture, which can increase the potential for mold development in one’s home.
- Due to these drawbacks, carpeting continues to fall out of favor among many homeowners, who tend to prefer more sanitary, easy-to-maintain flooring choices. If you’re looking for a flooring renovation project that will likely boost your home’s value, you’re better off investing in hardwood.
