One of my favorite improvements is updating light fixtures. Most sellers and agents are surprised when I suggest replacing the lights. The impact a light fixture can have on potential buyers should not be underestimated. It's one of those subtle, subconscious messages a house sends to buyers.... dated, cheap, or worn fixtures devalue the house. A very small investment can add tremendous perceived value and set you apart from your competition...who more than likely will not have updated their lights. New light fixtures make a house feel cared for and well maintained.
