Cosmetics

Paint - Interior:  every 3-5 years.  If you do this yourself use a painting guide available at your paint store or on one of the web sites.  A professionally painted home is very noticeable vs. a do-it-yourself project that has that stamp of personal frustration.

It’s usually a good idea to keep wallpapers to a conservative minimum so you don’t have to texture and paint again before putting your house on the market.

Carpets & Floorings:  Regular carpet care can save you thousands on replacement carpets, though after about 7-8 years on any carpet it will be best to replace it.  New carpets are one thing that home buyers will latch on to quickly.  New carpets are a regular replacement item, not an upgrade.  If carpets are old and ugly the time on market will be much longer and the sales price will be much less.

When it comes to laminate floors vs. ceramic tiles and woods, updated c-tiles & woods will always get you toward the top of the range for flooring.  However, large, costly flooring changes need to be weighed carefully.  If the rest of the house sparkles and you have some nice vinyl kitchen and baths, you can still be positioned attractively, though updated flooring always helps in selling a home more quickly.
