DON’T: Add a Sunroom

A lot of people love the idea of having a sunroom, because it’s a combination of both indoor and outdoor space. They’re very popular in states like Florida where it’s warm all year long. You can enjoy the sun without getting attacked by bugs. And it’s a great place to keep your indoor plants. The bad news is that it’s not exactly a good investment for you to build one. According to HomeAdvisor, it costs an average of $30,000 to build a sunroom addition. However, Forbes claims that it doesn’t count towards the total square footage of the home, therefore it doesn’t add any extra value. This may change state-by-state. The ROI also seems to change depending on where you live. It’s as low as 50% all the way up to 80%. (via US News)
