I second the ceramic tile idea for the floor. It is permanent, neat and more expensive than some coverings, but not all that much more considering the eye appeal. Choose a neutral color or white. There are two things that sell a house; an attractive bathroom (where the man of the house can read the sports section) and a nice kitchen (where the lady of the house can do her thing). All other rooms, if the plaster is not cracked or the floor covering ruined will be looked at by a buyer as "Heck, we'll be repainting this anyway".

If you are going to sell the house remember you have to get he prospect inside the house. Make sure the outside is clean, neat, no peeling paint, no rotten trim, etc. Very important.

As for paint...Outside paint has fungicides included. For the ceiling, this might be an alternative. Any mold you find can be attacked with bleach to kill it, then covered with Kilz (as was mentioned) and then painted.

The fan is essential. Without it, the humidity will probe into any small opening or cevice and do damage where it might not be visible for a long time.

Good luck!!
