Having a sauna at home may be considered a luxury to some homebuyers, which can give you a good return on investment. This, however, depends on the homebuyers. Some may not want to spend the extra time and cost of heating and maintaining a sauna.

A heated driveway can increase your home’s value depending on where you live and the age of your system. If you live in a region with very heavy snowfall, this feature will be more desirable amongst potential buyers. If you don’t plan to sell your home for another 15 years or more, then it likely won’t be a big selling feature as the technology will have aged too much over time. A heated driveway will only increase your home value if you’re planning to sell your home in the next two to five years.

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.
