Most people would ask more than it is worth, primarily because people tend to overvalue the upgrades they have paid for. You should only expect to get about 50 to 60 percent of what you paid for upgrades, and definitely not 100 percent like some people think. And, you should get nothing for the real estate commission, which is totally the seller's expense.”
If where you live is a house or an investment, it would make sense (I guess) not to make any improvements. But if you live in a home, I think you should make whatever improvements work for you. And I certainly would get what ever appliances make life easier and convenient for you. Personally, I’ve always lived in a home.
