Put your home in selling shape at any budget

I found an interesting link to getting your home ready to sell at any budget.

It’s a nice slideshow from Kim Hildebrand of RenovateToSell.com,  with bullet points on doing a room makeover from USD 100 to USD 5000.  I recall many homebuyers making decisions to purchase a house based on how they liked the bathrooms and the kitchens. Others chose one for bigger-sized rooms; another couple fell in love with  the large, beautiful garden.

Whether its minimizing the house’s flaws or highlighting its best points, spending some money on renovations and repairs will improve your house’s chances of selling sooner than later. If you must prioritize  your spending, then see this post on what you can do to renovate to sell.
