What repairs are worth doing before selling my house?

Repairs worth doing before selling usually target what a buyer's inspector and appraiser will flag first, such as roof, HVAC, plumbing leaks and any safety issue, rather than a full cosmetic overhaul. Cosmetic fixes like fresh paint and decluttering tend to pay back more reliably than major renovations, since buyers rarely recover the full cost of a big remodel at closing.
