Want to significantly increase your home's asking price? Invest in new flooring!

In other words, home sellers should make improvements starting from what buyers can see right away (such as flooring, landscaping, new paint) to what buyers can't see (plumbing, electrical upgrades). That is, before investing in a new plumbing system for the house, change the floors. Most buyers won't even ask how good the plumbing is if they notice a huge stain on the carpeting first. That first impression, the exterior, is what gets buyers into the door and interested.
