Finally, a simple and yet often helpful alteration is to change the smell of your house.  This may seem unlikely to improve anything; however it does improve the value of your house.  When potential buyers look at a house, they often make many initial associations that affect their attitude towards it. Whilst appearance and lighting have already been covered, smell is a final and yet vital association.
