Why so much vitriol, BTD? You think I don't know what buyers are looking for in a home? My point was that I think the suggestions were a bit overboard in what should be done, and that some suggestions were things that would quickly become dated themselves.
And please... ripping out a wall mirror in a bathroom? Yes a framed mirror is cute, but when you're talking about repairing or replacing drywall, you're talking about a much bigger endeavor than most home sellers would or should consider.
You wanna do simple things that will improve your home's saleability? Remove half your furniture and take all family photos off the wall.
