[quote=Anonymous]Yes, you definitely want to fix the cracks in the floor. Cracks in the floor make some people wary because they suspect either settling problems, water problems or worse, foundation problems. I know some buyers are completely turned off by concrete flooring issues on the lowest level of a house. At a minimum you can do touch up filler, but if someone in your family is handy, it would be best to do self-leveling concrete (not expensive and you can find instructions on Youtube). It just makes the floor look so much better. It will also hide and water damage to the surface in addition to the cracks. And a coat of some light color will make a huge difference in the basement. Another tip, replace exposed standard light bulbs with flood light (65W or the LED equivalent) bulbs. It really brightens up a space having the brighter light. It makes the basement look like someplace you'd like to be, rather than a dark hole in the ground that you want to avoid.[/quote]
