The Finish Line

The goal for a sellers is to end up with money at closing if at all possible. This money, called net return, is the selling price of your home less your debt and costs. Spending big bucks on improvements might get you a higher selling price but won't necessarily increase your net return. Your strategy is to do only those certain things that will likely increase your selling price more than the cost of doing them. Realize that you probably will not be able to do them all, but it's the little things that count and will eventually help sell your home.
