WORTH IT? OR NOT?

Welcome to my blog Buy and Bye!  Whether you are buying a home or saying goodbye to the one you own there are tips to help you through all of it.  

Let's start with Home Inprovements:

When making improvements to your home there are some upgrades that are going to be worth the effort and money and some that aren't. 

HOME OFFICES - May be very convenient and seem like a great idea but the return on the investment to build one is less than half!

SWIMMING POOLS - The majority of people do not find a pool a positive feature.  They find it can only mean more work and maintenance around the home.  Your insurance rates increase as well.

SUN ROOMS - The expense of a Sun Room is quite extensive and the value it adds to the resale value of your home is less than half.  Especially in New England, where the room could be a bit chilly in Winter,  so it would be considered a three Season Porch. 

Looking to increase the value of your home?  Then consider adding outdoor living space such as a large deck or patio, remodeling your kitchen and/or bath, replacement windows and siding. Some of the simple low cost investments can make the biggest impact so consider some landscaping to add the all important curb appeal!  :o)
