I've been asked for this, and finally found a short but sweet article on it...the top home improvements that are the best bets for folks trying to sell their homes. It was gathered from a study by HomeGain.com and featured in a newsletter sent out by Lowe's Home Improvement. The article can be found here.

As expected, cleaning and de-cluttering came out on top. It's amazing what a little sweat equity can do for your home, especially during the fall when leaves muck up the look of yards and landscaping. Happy selling!
