Renovations that Could Make Your Home Harder to Sell

Renovating your home can produce a great return on investment, assuming they're good ones! Here are a few renovations to avoid...

Bold Exterior Paint: Bright, bold colors on the outside of a home could turn off prospective buyers. Florescent pink may be your thing, but if you plan to sell anytime soon, Bob Vila says you're better off with earth tones.

Excessive Wallpaper: Wallpaper can be difficult to remove, and too much of it might work against you if prospective buyers are planning a remodel.

Converting the Garage to Living Space: While attic and basement conversions can produce a healthy return on investment, most buyers want to park their car in the garage—not their teenage son!

Carpeting over Hardwood: You may be tempted to cover your hardwood floor, but USA Today reported that 54 percent of home buyers are "willing to pay more for a home with hardwood flooring." Rather than covering it with carpet, consider refinishing that old, hardwood floor.
