Default Preparing my (non-Villages) house for sale

I'm hoping to put my house on the market in the next week or so with the idea of being a TV resident ASAP.

I'm curious as to other people's experiences as to the amount of money they spent preparing to put their house on the market. I've done a lot of work (or to be more specific - I've had a lot of work done) that has cost me roughly 2.5% of my asking price - painting, some new carpets, some new flooring, upgrading bathrooms, ... it was a long list. Now I'm wondering if I did too much. Of course, it's too late now - the money has been spent and maybe the answer is that if it helps me sell my house sooner it was worth it, but I'd be interested in hearing from other people.
