Ask yourself these things

1. what attracted you to the house when you bought it, chances are those things will also attract someone else

2. How much are you comfortable spending and if you do spend, does it equate to a higher sales price - this can be very tricky in today's housing market

3. What are you willing to do to make the home sales ready - ie) Be prepared to put a huge amount of your belongings in storage - off site. Buyers rarely have the ability to see beyond the clutter

4. Be realistic and do visit with some realtors, again, what is the market, what is the average sales price for a home like yours.

5. Many times, it doesn't pencil to spend several thousands of dollars to make your home purchase ready. Money is better spent cleaning, storing and staging the home for sale.

Good luck!
