There’s also a downside to creating a home office. Eventually, you’ll probably move, and if you have spent $20,000 to create a great home office, chances are you won’t be able to add that to the price of the home. It may even lower the value.
Before you draw up plans and get bids for that dream home office you saw in a magazine article, do some ‘‘what if ’’ thinking. If you’re planning on moving in a few years, will the home office add to the sales appeal? If you turned a bedroom into an office, can it be restored back without too much trouble or expense? Look at other homes that have sold in your area. What will be the biggest sales attraction, a bedroom or an office?
