The answer to this question is "Maybe." Obviously, if you want to sell a home quickly, it should not look like a "project" to a potential buyer. That's especially true in Sedona where the median sales price for a single family home is around $440,000. For that amount of money, most buyers expect that the home will be basically move in ready. Also, the average return on money invested in remodeling is 50 - 80%, so the reason to do it is not to net more cash at closing, but to actually have a closing. Think about it from the perspective of the buyer, and invest wisely.
