The ideal way to compete is to offer your house in the best condition at the best price.  Visualize this - a buyer looks at 6 homes similarly priced.  Three aredated and tired in appearance, two are somewhat updated but still need work, and the sixth one is immaculate and renovated.  Guess which one will attract the buyer?!
