Thanks everyone for the comments (keep them coming!).

Most of the items mentioned we have taken into consideration, but a few people brought up quick fixes and/or cleaning suggestions that I probably would not have come up with on my own!

AGDee - Yes, the market in MI is terrible right now which is why we are hoping to sell in a year or so and capitalize on a good deal when we buy. We've already seen many houses that would probably be out of our price range if not for the fact that their prices are reduced, too. We are trying to only put money into things that may help us get a better profit (ie - kitchen and baths), but my husband is doing most of the work on his own so we are saving a lot of money there!
