Totally feel you — we went through this last year. What made the biggest difference for us was focusing on first impressions: we power-washed the front porch, trimmed bushes, and added simple potted plants by the door. Inside, we didn’t do anything fancy, but we deep-cleaned everything and put neutral cushions/throws on couches so it felt calm and inviting. Buyers may not remember paint colors, but they do notice brightness and cleanliness.
