-Remodeling - including: removal of walls updating kitchens and bathrooms

-Adding patios, garages, deck, etc.

-Spending more on professional photos of the home

-Putting belongings in storage to reduce clutter

-Using additional alternative ways to market the home (newspaper ads, online advertising, traditional media, etc.)
