This.
Last house I sold in NY I repainted top to bottom, had the floor grout redone, new carpet everywhere. The carpet was the cheapest stuff I could find that looked like it cost more than it did.
It made a huge difference.
The problem with a house that needs work is realtors will use it to sell a different house.
They will show your house at $100,000 needing $25,000 in work then take them to a house selling for $130,000 that needs little to no work.
Either that or they will offer you less than asking price plus less what they estimate the finish work will cost.
Getting top dollar will be easier if you remove as many negotiating points as possible.
Good luck.
Nice looking house BTW.
Has good curb appeal.
