thats why you should remodel while you live there so you're actually getting value out of your expenditures, not just upgrading everything right before you move out.

Renovating before moving is the worst (excluding clean up (fresh paint, etc) - I feel like most people have horrible taste and use cheapo contractor grade materials, last time I was buying a house I couldn’t believe how many newly renovated homes I saw where I thought “wow this needs a ton of work”
Unfortunately, it’s kind of crazy to use anything better, since — as you pointed out — most people won’t even care.
