1. The kitchen is still considered the heart of the home. Potential home buyers make a beeline for this room when they first view a home for sale, so make sure your kitchen looks clean and reasonably updated.

For a few hundred dollars, you can replace the kitchen faucet set, add new cabinet door handles and update old lighting fixtures with brighter, more energy-efficient ones.

If you’ve got a slightly larger budget, you can give the cabinets themselves a makeover. You can remove cabinet doors and drawers, refinish the cabinet boxes, then add brand-new doors and drawers. With a fresh coat of paint over the whole set, your cabinets will look like new.

2. Give appliances a facelift. If your kitchen appliances don’t match, order new doors or face panels for them.

Simple Secret: Many dishwasher panels are white on one side and black on the other.

3. Buff up the bath. Next to the kitchen, bathrooms are often the most important rooms to update. They, too, can be improved without a lot of cash.

replacing an old, discolored bathroom floor with easy-to-apply vinyl tiles or a small piece of sheet vinyl will add value. If your tub and shower are looking dingy, consider re-grouting the tile and replacing any chipped tiles.

4. Step up your storage. Old houses, particularly, are notorious for their lack of closet space.

Firms like ClosetMaid allow you to measure and redesign your closets online. You can also get design details and parts for these systems at many large home-improvement stores. Most closets can be updated in a weekend or less.  In the end, your closets will be more functional while you’re living in the house and will make your home look more customized to potential buyers when you’re ready to sell.

5. Add a room in a week or less. If you add a closet to  your den, you’ve now got a four-bedroom house. That adds a lot of value.

This quick fix can be very inexpensive but still add a large sum to the total value of your home.
