1. Renovate Your Home

Prepare to Sell

Before you sell your home, you'll want to fix it up before it goes on the market.

Inexpensive improvements can go a long way toward attracting potential buyers. But be careful about making certain improvements. For instance, adding a first floor bathroom or updating your kitchen cabinets and appliances might raise the value of your home. On the other hand, swimming pools and saunas might not. Some luxurious upgrades may turn off buyers who don't want the hassle of upkeep and the possibility of increased real estate taxes.

Here is a list of improvements and how much you can expect them to pay off when you sell.
