Sure there are improvements you can make to a home to make it more
desirable to a buyer but what can you do without spending any money?There are 3 really important things you can do that won't cost you anything.
1. You are going to have to pack up everything to move anyway so start now. Pack up clothes that are out of season, old toys, hobbies you can put on hold, books, excess furniture, family photos. Keep the amount of "stuff" in the rooms at a minimum to increase the flow and make the rooms look larger. You can sore everything in boxes in your garage but be sure not to block access to the attic, waterheater or garage doors. Declutter!
2. Consider what a difference a clean house makes to you. Buyers are even pickier. In addition to sweeping, mopping, washing dishes and dusting, be sure to clean the blades on the ceiling fan, clean the baseboards, run oranges through the garbage disposer, empty garbage containers, plus pick and deodorize pet areas. Clean, clean, clean!
3. The yard is the first and last impression. Make sure it is mowed, edged, trimmed and raked. Also be sure to sweep walkways and clean around the doors. Boost your curb appeal!
