I believe frequent open houses ( a pain I know ), once the snowbird season arrives could pay off. Little things can mean a lot to some looking. Little paint chips on wall edges, clean door hardware, neat clean UNDER sink and bath vanity areas, no old stains from drips that were fixed, but signs still there. Door into home from the garage... clean ? On both sides including the garage side ? Or black marks, stains, etc. Fix them. Sliding door slide easily ? Windows go up and down easily ? Fans NOT squeaking ? All outlets working properly ? Drawers and cabinets clean and as uncrowded as possible (for those living in the home) ? It really does give a better impression if "some" food items, clothing items, shoes, books, towels, sheets, furniture.... can be removed. IF possible for you store as much as possible at another location. If you have articles you absolutely know do not want at your new home, sell or donate them now, before you hold open houses. Keep kitchen and bath drawers "believable", but when a kitchen drawer is pulled out, have 4-6 towels in it, not over flowing. May all sound silly, but people do remember how "spacious" the closets were, even though the same dimensions of those packed wall to wall with clothes, and some additional baskets of articles on the floors too.
