We completely gutted the kitchen, flooring, bathrooms, etc. and made the place into our own palace with minimal budget.Then a year after we moved in, I got a job offer elsewhere with a 50% pay increase. 

Some of the stuff I’ve learned involved staging the house, such as proper lighting, opening blinds, making the most of various amenities the house has which in my case was having the gas fireplace lit, the backyard waterfall running, positioning furniture to make the rooms appear more spacious, occasional spritz of air fresheners, and in the winter time a nice apple pie candle lit in the kitchen.
