Back in 1999, we put a lot of effort into making our first home more appealing for sale. I remember thinking at the time, Why didn’t we do all this while we lived here so we could have enjoyed it ourselves? Since then, every improvement we've made to our homes has been with our own enjoyment in mind. For example, we added a pool here—not for resale value, but because we wanted to enjoy it. Whatever return we get when we sell is secondary.
