What renovations should I avoid before selling my home?

Homeowners planning to sell should be cautious about over-renovating — particularly with highly personalized finishes or expensive upgrades that don't appeal to a broad audience. George Wang of Team George Wang in Belleville advises that niche design choices such as bold colour palettes, custom built-ins, or luxury features uncommon in the neighbourhood often don't recover their cost at sale. Focus instead on clean, timeless, and broadly appealing improvements. Simple updates that feel fresh and well-maintained typically offer the best balance of cost and return for sellers.
