Like any addition to your home, you may wonder what type of value your sauna will contribute should you choose to relocate. Outside of Finland where saunas outnumber cars, a sauna is widely seen as a luxury item. Thus, they can be an incredibly attractive feature when selling your home. Why is this?
- People often overestimate the cost to build a sauna. You may be doing this too. If you’re unsure about whether you should get a sauna, don’t let cost be a factor. You can install it for a much lower cost than you likely anticipate. However, this will work in your favor when it comes time to sell. A potential buyer will see your sauna and believe that you’ve invested more money than you have.
- The quality of the sauna matters. The last thing you want to do is have to tear out a poor-quality sauna. Get it right from the start with a quality product, features, and installation. This will help it add value to your home, even after it’s been installed for years.
