One should always have an eye on future resale when they make improvements to their home. But resale has different meanings for different homeowners.  Are you going to be selling in a few years or in decades?



George and I bought our home fifteen years ago.  We wanted a pool and knew that we would not get dollar for dollar when we decided to sell.  Thirteen years ago we put in our pool and have derived thirteen years of pleasure.  It likely would have been more cost effective for us to purchase a home with a pool, but the home we fell in love with didn't have a pool.

We have had countless birthday and pool parties and in my opinion, have gotten our moneys worth.  Especially this week!
