If you plan to remain in your home long enough to enjoy renovations, then by all means do what your budget will allow and then enjoy!  But depending on your specific situation, there are more cost effective ways to earn top dollar for your home.

Start by putting yourself in the Buyer's shoes.  Look at your home through the eyes of a stranger.  Starting from the beginning, some ideas for doing a "Tickle-Up" could be as simple as taking these steps:

1. Clean & Wash until it sparkles!
2. De-clutter & put items you don't use in storage
3. Paint and touch up whatever looks dull or worn - walls, trim, doors, etc.
4. Freshen grout in bathrooms with tile cleaning products & fill in worn grout.
5. Freshen up the landscaping by trimming and adding annuals.
6. Re-arrange furniture to give rooms the most space possible.
