When looking at the value of your home it is important to hire someone and not base your number off Internet figures or your own personal judgement. As a homeowner you think very highly of your home which will result in a biased opinion in determining the actual value. When looking to upgrade your home you should know where to put the focus to see the most turn around. A kitchen remodel is #1 with a bathroom closely following. When a client is looking to buy, if these major projects are already completed they will find it much easier to accept the little projects. You also need to remember that if you are upgrading to sell, your choices need to be neutral. Buyers want to imagine their lives in your home and if it is custom to your style and wants they will have a hard time.
You also need to keep in mind that the way your home shows is everything. Buyers look online at pictures to determine if they want to come view it in person. If your front yard is dead or taken over by weeds the curb appeal drops. Upkeep the front yard, maybe add some pops of color to extenuate the color of the home, make them see the life even in the winter. On the inside, remove all of the family photos and religious items. Give it a blank slate so that buyers can imagine where their family photos can be placed. Be sure to keep the scents and decorations within the right season. For example, don't burn a pumpkin spice candle in the summer, buyers will be thrown off.
