What Repairs Should I Make Before Selling My Home?

From experience, I recommend focusing on the high-impact repairs that buyers notice first. Fix anything safety-related — electrical, plumbing, or structural issues — as these can scare off offers or complicate inspections. Then, look at cosmetic updates that modernize the feel: fresh interior paint, new cabinet hardware, and lighting upgrades. Address signs of wear like cracked caulking, chipped tiles, or stained carpets. Buyers tend to overestimate repair costs, so presenting a well-maintained home gives them confidence and often leads to stronger offers.
