If you’re a buyer, you need to consider the outcomes of any home improvement projects. Do they actually add value to your home and is there really a good ROI opportunity? Today’s topic includes three remodeling efforts that might not be worthwhile in Southern California.

1. Adding a pool: Although it’s great to have a pool in a warm, desert-like area, there are lots of community pools available. In the Orange County market, not everyone wants a pool. The cost of a pool might not be financially worthwhile unless you plan to live in your home for a long time.
   
2. Personalized kitchens: Your idea of a kitchen might not be appealing or enticing to a buyer. My recommendations are to stay neutral with colors and trends, in hopes it will appeal to the masses.
   
3. Adding an extension: Adding space can benefit your family, but it not might translate in value. Most buyers look to check off boxes in the process, such as two bedrooms or two bathrooms in a particular neighborhood.

Ultimately, your biggest ROI opportunities are in kitchens, bathrooms, and flooring. Make sure your home smells and looks visually-appealing for buyers coming through.
