Advice on updates before sale in hot/warm market - Denver CO

I own a home in Denver, CO and will be listing for sale in the next couple of months.

  • 3 bed / 2 bath ~1600 sq ft
  • 2 car garage, large backyard
  • 10 year old carpet in living areas, hardwood in bedrooms, linoleum in kitchen and bathrooms
  • hasn’t been painted in 10 years, interior or exterior
  • roof: 7 years old, water heater 15 years old
  • Expected sell price: 475 to 525 (official comps being pulled by realtor now)

Denver is a hot market but as we know things are slowly starting to cool down now.

Question: what, if anything, should I update before selling to at least make my money back in a market like Denver? Here’s what I’m thinking:

1) paint interior only. Guessing this will run around $4k 2) replace carpet & linoleum with LVP for a seamless look in living area and kitchen, but leave linoleum in bathrooms. I would estimate this costs $10k 3) replace water heater for around $700

TOTAL: $14,700 - what would you change in my position?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
