THE SHORT ANSWER
The most useful pre-sale projects often address condition, presentation and buyer expectations.
Start with the basics
Tackle deferred maintenance, moisture issues, cleaning, landscaping, lighting and cosmetic concerns before committing to expensive renovations.
Spend with a strategy
Kitchen, bathroom and outdoor improvements should be compared with local sales and your timeline. A renovation does not guarantee a dollar-for-dollar return.
What should you do next?
Make a list of your priorities and the questions you still need answered. When you're making a property decision, compare options using current local information and seek appropriate professional guidance for technical, legal, tax, insurance or construction questions.
