You can dramatically change a bathroom by going from brushed nickel to oil rubbed bronze or like the picture in your example, gold to any other finish easily later on.Some ideas I personally have done and love:Heated floors.  

I'll cite the highly dramatic strip search, with female officers present, of the woman who cops "mistook" as an aggressor (in other words, she was aggressive to the responding officers which makes her an aggressor) where the documentary maker showed the husband saying, "She felt penetration" and referring to it as a "rape".

It seems everybody and their grandma is bidding on foreclosures Hey David, I see you're in KC, I'm in Saint Louis and I can definitely tell you the competition here has increased dramatically.

The major Hwy with truck noise isn't your only problem.There is a huge railroad yard on the other side of the Hwy and the noise at night must be enormous when combined with the Hwy.Combine that with being on the market for 6 months and dramatic price drops and you have got a perfect storm of trouble.People and their agents are waiting you out hoping you're going to drop the price down closer to $300k before they start offering a price you might accept.I'm really sorry and hope you get this sold soon.

The subtle changes like handles on kitchen cabinets dramatically update the look with very little expense.

I mostly lend now as prices have risen dramatically in Atlanta.

Our business changed dramatically (for the better) when our phone started ringing rather than us looking for deals.Once you're getting calls, your focus will be on whoever is calling and what it is they have to offer!

If at all possible I always try to incorporate some type of outdoor living feature in every deal.A $3500 deck might only get me an extra 5k in value or price, but that one concept has very often made my deals stand out and sell dramatically quicker than the market average. 

Dramatic read.

(bit dramatic there, sorry) I spoke to some locals and they said that nothing has really changed for them so really, only time can tell.I have decided I am going to make that leap.
