how to prepare your home for saleWondering what home improvements you should  do before putting your home on the market?

Which ones will be noticed the most? 

If you invest in improvements can you recoup your investment?

HomeGain.com regularly conducts a home improvement survey.  This survey has been a guide for thousands of home sellers when preparing their home for sale. 

Following is an excerpt from the report that was released today:

HomeGain recently conducted a new survey of top 12 low cost*, do-it-yourself (DIY) home improvements for people getting their home ready to sell.

The top five nationwide home improvements that Realtors recommend to home sellers, based on average cost and return on investment (ROI) to sellers, are:

  1. Cleaning and de-cluttering ($200 cost / $1,700 price increase / 872% ROI / 98% recommended)
  2. Home staging ($300 cost / $1,780 price increase / 586% ROI / 82% recommended)
  3. Lightening and brightening ($230 cost / $1,300 price increase / 572% ROI / 95% recommended)
  4. Landscaping ($320 cost / $1,500 price increase / 473% ROI / 94% recommended)
