1.Keep your propety well maintained. In other words...take care of it! Replace the shingles when they are supposed to be replaced, if you have 20-year-carpet that's been down for 20 years...replace it! Everything in your home has a lifespan, don't try and will something to live past it! When it does come time to move on, selling your home can sometimes be a game of inches.
Buyers can tell when a home has been well cared for. Keep in mind - many people replace all these things right before they go to sell, which means they don't get to enjoy any of the benefits of a new hot water tank, or high efficiency furnace....you might as well get some enjoyment out of your maintenance investments.
2.Plan any upgrades wisely. If you’re on a budget plan to do the upgrades that will give you the biggest bang for your buck. Painting is pretty much the best return on investment you can get (partly because it's so inexpensive) as long as you do it right... painting mint green and bubble gum pink may have worked in the 80's but do it today and you've thrown away your money! Kitchens and bathrooms are where buyers place the most value on a home, so don't hesitate to upgrade them, but again, you have to do it right. I've seen many homes that have been customized so specifically to the current owner, the upgrades have no value to anyone else.
