One of the best things about owning your own home is the ability to change it up whenever you’d like and make it your own. There are many renovations we can make to personalize our space. If it’s your forever home, this isn’t a big deal, but if you think that things could change, it might be a good idea to think carefully about your design updates. Divorce, job relocation, and other factors can force a move that will require a home sale and the wrong choices could affect potential buyers offers. How do you know which changes to avoid?
Mistake #1 – Signing a contract for a design move that your buyers may not want
Adding something such as solar may seem like a money saving choice, but it can lead to complications if you get locked into a long-term contract after installation. Buyers may like the house, but not want to take over a contract that you locked them into. If this is something you still want to do, plan to pay it off prior to the closing table.
