While there were only 1,568 homes sold in the first three months of this year versus 2,104 in the first quarter of 2012, the average sale price went from $126,170 one year ago to $154,616 for the most recent three month period ending March 31st.

Your bathroom is often the most used room in your home. It is usually one room that doesn't get remodeled as often as some of the other rooms in your home. It often costs more than most people want to spend on one of the smallest rooms in your house. It can cost a pretty huge chunk of change to get new flooring, switch out old showers and tubs, knock out existing out-of-date tile or change vanities and lighting.
Bathroom remodels are the most cost-effective (around 75% return) when major fixtures can remain in place, allowing you to focus on flooring, sink, vanity, mirrors, lighting and fresh paint.

Curb appeal. Is the lawn mowed? Are the weeds pulled? Are the bushes trimmed? Is the entry neat, clean and welcoming, with perhaps colorful pots of flowers by the front door? And don't forget to hide your garbage cans.
Foyer/Entry. When you stand at the front door, what do you see? Does any item of furniture or art stand out like a sore thumb? Do you get a sense of space or blockage?Selling Improvements- How do I know what is worth it?
