Payback At Sale

People sometimes ask “How come you know all the answers?” and that’s because I get to pick what goes in the column.  When I don’t know,  I can just say so privately, by return mail or email.

But as you didn’t enclose a return envelope or address, I’ll have to tell you right here in public that I don’t have the slightest idea how much that generator system would add – if anything-- to the eventual sale price of your home.  Perhaps a qualified appraiser will write in with an opinion.   In general, though, unusual improvements should be made just for your own satisfaction while you own the place.
