Definitely neutral paint with co-ordinating mouldings - white or off white, crown moulding really changes a property so go for crown moulding in the great room if you can unless it would clash with the style of the property - for example if you are going for a modern, minimalist aesthetic you don't want moulding to contrast you want the neutral tones to be uniform across the whole space.Class Cs: the same as above applies but tone down the price tag: choose neutrals, don't waste money on up market appliances just instal new clean lookalikes - buyers in this market want the property turnkey so they don't have to renovate as long as the kitchens and bathrooms are modern and attractive they will be satisfied but you do want to choose your aspirational feature - as many as you can afford within your budget .If you fix everything that's broken, you paint and replace outdated bathrooms and kitchens and your exterior is attractive and clean you have won half the battle.

Might have missed that, but if it's a FSBO and you've had no luck, get it listed.That is a cheap toilet, I'd take that off in the pictures.I'd also turn off the indirect lighting in the ceiling, it first appears (to me) as it being a painted contrast and colors seem to clash a bit, IMO.
