Besides getting creepy Uncle Eunice to go someplace else. paint is by far the highest ROI with the exception of clean, clean and clean.

1. Cleaning products and dumpsters to get rid of clutter make a lived in home look like a house someone would buy.
2. Paint can take a worn out tired building and make it look brand new.

Generally, ripping up carpet and refinishing hardwood underneath, followed by painting.

Thanks again for you loyal participants. I do agree painting is one of the least expensive, along with cleaning and decluttering. One other thing I think is easy, cheap and does lend itself for curb side improvement are flowers and mulch. $100-$200 goes a long way.

I also say painting. And as Barbara mentions, colors , quality of paint and painter make a huge difference.

Edit, clean, lighting, paint would be my order. Even if the lighting is just clean the fixtures and brighter bulbs.

I'd say clean and new paint. Carpet can be pretty inexpensive but I would not advise someone to add that.

Cheapest, because it is free, is de-clutter. I always tell my clients to make their home look like an Ikea (insert favorite retailer) showroom. Only have what is necessary, nothing more.
Same for the closets, no matter how large, get the out-of-season clothes out of there.
Storage boxes are cheap, and you are going to use them to move when I get the home sold! Start packing the stuff away, take it to a friends, and lets get the "marketing" right on the first day of the listing!
The larger the home, closets, garage, looks for the money, the more money you may make Mr or Ms Home Seller!
