That's the weirdness of real estate. Things like surround sound wired 
living rooms, Ethernet throughout the house, hot tubs, well tended 
gardens, and quite a few other items don't add value to the house. But 
they're items that might push a certain seller over the edge to buy a 
specific house over another.

I live in the "Silicon Forest" and plan on renting my house out. For me 
it made sense to install Cat6 because it'll be attractive to tech 
workers. But the couple thousand it cost me didn't add any value to the 
house at all.
