It's not rocket science: Houses that look fresh and attractive sell faster than beat-up homes. Here are some cheap tricks from Money Magazine for boosting appeal:
• Buy a new mailbox, house numbers, doorbell and knocker: $200
• Green the grass with nitrogen-rich fertilizer: $50 to $200, depending on the lawn's size
• Edge and mulch flowerbeds: $300 to $600, depending on the number of beds
• Replace the bathroom faucet: $300
• Install beadboard over dated bathroom tile: $800 to $1,000
• New paint: $60 to $100 per room if homeowners do it themselves
• Replace switch plates and outlet covers: 50 cents each
• Install stone tile over existing Formica countertops: $500 to $1,000
