How does a sauna add value to your home?
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?

- The health benefits alone help the sauna add value. In the long-term, your sauna helps to give you a return on your investment. However, short-term you get to enjoy it. This means that you reap all the health and wellness benefits that a sauna provides. Let’s take a look at those.
