Just a note to add. Please remember that HGTV has brought out the "I want everything right" attitude in home buyers now. As Hemmingway stated, don't put more in the home than you can get back. Neat, clean and repairs made where needed in today's market is all you should do. Low cost update's when possible is great. If your agent advises you the offer is reasonable then consider it, not so much the buyer's agent. Although the agents are supposed to be working for YOU since you are paying there fee still be careful.
All these tips are great and so very useful.
I would like to sell my villa but because of the amount of upgrades I have put in it I would not get back any money at this time. This is why I say moderate upgrades only.
