Tishclan answered:

We had our house on the market for the last year and just took it off the market due to the slow real estate market. My suggestion. Have your home appraised before you do anything else. During the appraisal ask the appraiser their suggestions. I was shocked to find out that turning our large bonus room into 2 bedrooms, plus small bonus would increase my property value significantly and only cost about $5000 if I hired out.

Second, have a home inspection. If you are looking to sell, chances are the buyers will have an inspection done and then nickel and dime you to death. If you are one step ahead and have everything fixed it will save you a ton in the long run.

Last, with any money you have left use it to spruce the place up. Pressure washing, painting and carpet cleaning will go a LONG LONG way, as will decluttering a small home. - Fri Jul 4 2008, 19:34
