Well, there are ways you can go about adding value to your home without spending as with there obviously being ways to add value with spending.

- Clean and organize your basement, attic and garage.
 
- Clean everything – carpets, windows, mirrors, appliances … A clean and tidy house will make your home look more welcoming to prospective buyers.
 
- Repair any leaking roofs or walls you may have and paint over the water stains to show no sign of water damage. Replace any discolored wallpaper.
 
- Replace broken switches, tighten loose door knobs and eliminate any squeaky noise that may arise from any of the windows or doors in the house.
 
Tips for the exteriors of your home:

- Cut your lawn weekly while showing your home. Rake leaves and sweep the sidewalk when the house is to be shown. You may also want to plant more flowers or use potted plants to give more color and life to your landscaping.
 
- Paint or clean the front door. Also make sure there’s a neat door mat in the front entrance.
 
- Replace cracked window panes, if any.

- House painting would make your home look new although do so if it’s really necessary and after considering the costs involved.
