Buyers decide how they feel about a property in the first ninety seconds. Everything you do before listing should be aimed at that window, not at your own taste.
A deep clean and decluttering routinely outperforms a fresh coat of paint, and a fresh coat of paint routinely outperforms a full renovation — in return on money spent, in that order.
Fix what a buyer's inspector will flag: leaks, cracked tiles, faulty switches. These cost little to repair now and cost a lot in negotiating leverage if a buyer finds them first.
Skip full kitchen or bathroom remodels before selling unless they're genuinely falling apart. Buyers rarely pay back the full cost of someone else's renovation choices.
