Should we update our home before putting it on the market?

Yes, fixing up your home before you sell it is a good idea because:

1. **You can get more money for it**: If your house looks nice and new, people might pay more for it.
2. **It sells quicker**: Buyers like houses that don’t need fixing up, so yours might sell faster if it’s updated.
3. **It stands out**: If other houses for sale near you look nice, you want yours to look nice too, so people notice it.
4. **Better pictures**: Houses that look good in pictures get more attention from buyers.
5. **Less trouble later**: Fixing things like leaky faucets or old wires before you sell means less problems when the buyer checks the house.

But, think about what fixes are worth it. Not all changes will make you more money when you sell. Pick updates that a lot of buyers will like.
