According to a sales marketing agent last night, a 28K investment will yield a 45K+ ROI if done tastefully. The floor is worn, kitchen countertops are scratched up, master shower and both bathroom sinks need replaced in addition to paint to sell well. If our house wasn't the best elevation of the most popular original and resale model located on one of the 5 best lots in the subdivision we wouldn't be as concerned.

Rocket League supports tournaments now. I will research details and provide more info.
While we won't be able to do a custom/hosted game, it would be amazing to have as many people as possible jump into a PUBG game. Another I will research and get more specific details.
Pokemon Go. At minimum I would like to host a group at least one morning and hit some raids. A 2 hour chunk of time would be plenty of time to hit a few raids and make it back to the house. The more the better. Ideally we would have a vehicle or two to use but there are gyms in walking distance, unfortunately there is no way to plan what time / level a raid will spawn at at any particular gym.

Mentioned via DM, but figure I should surface it here as well:
@Annes and @pragtastic were playing a really fun and challenging enough game called Overcooked on Switch. Supports teams of up to 4 for local play (no online) and is really fun, hectic, with on the fly elements. I would posit that teams should either have never played it, or all have played it at least once to be on even footing. I can run this and select some good maps for either scenario. Personally, I think having never played it might be more fun with the same set of "guidelines" given to the teams as a whole. Maybe someone else has played it and can comment. A tournament here would be pretty fast because individual games are only a few mins, so maybe it would be a multi-game event for each team and then take score totals?
Thoughts?

**JUST A LITTLE CLARIFICAION. I AM LLOKING FOR STYLE CUES. I ALREADY KNOW ALL THE DO'S, DONTS AND TIPS FOR SELLING A HOME. ** After all I have done this several times before in my 63 years. I am just trying to tap into the fact that the average age of this forum is in the median buyers age of my area. We are going to move into our new home prior to listing this house for sale. So it will not be cluttered, dirty or have anyting personal in the house. Then it will be professionally staged before it is ever shown. I expect it to sell from the open house after multiple offers push the closed price up well beyond the asking price. 
But I do appreciate all the good comments so far! Please keep the styling ideas coming, especially the minutia details.

I would say the brown/yellow palette is going to be a hurdle in Austin. It makes the house feel cramped and dark.
That's exactly part of what we are getting rid of. We did that between purchase and move in as it needed paint then. Now it's time to move on and painting is basically cheap and easy. It is also one of the best things to sell quickly.
