When considering your options for remodeling, with the hopes of selling in the future, think about your community’s standards before investing. Hawaii’s culture is much different than others, and if you sink your money into amenities that don’t reflect the norm for your immediate area, then you won’t even gain a 10 percent premium over neighboring homes, regardless of what you’ve spent.

Understand that if you are seeking future returns on investments, a buyer who is considering whether or not to purchase your home will be researching all of the houses around yours before making a decision. Buyers are not looking for reasons to purchase your home, but rather they are looking for reasons not to. For example, if you want to spend $50,000 to construct a retaining wall on the property, then you may want to reconsider this, because in most cases, the value will not count in the appraisal.

Built-in electronics may satisfy you right now, but they soon lose their appeal and are quickly outdated by the latest trends. Also, eliminating a third or fourth bedroom to install a walk-in closet or bathroom is never a wise decision, because homeowner’s are often looking for more bedrooms for their growing families. For the best return of value, it would be wise to consider remodeling the kitchen, bathroom or building an addition. If you have a large family, then photovoltaic panels would be the next choice, because federal and state tax credits are still being offered, and it appears that this will not be the case forever.
