English term or phrase: Either it feels like home or it doesn't
How important is it to fix up a home for sale in this market?
You should spruce up, but that doesn't mean you should paint everything beige or start installing granite countertops—especially if everyone else has them. Other things may matter more. Replace the hardware on your doorbell and repaint the door—the entry way is important. People make a decision on whether they like a house within seconds. Either it feels like home or it doesn't. People spend less time choosing a house than a car believe it or not.
在这个市场,装修房子卖个好价钱有多重要?
你应当装修一下,不过这倒不是说应当把什么都漆成米色,或者开始安装花岗岩厨房台面――特别是别人都有这些东西的话。可能其他方面更为重要。把门铃上的金属器件换掉,把门重新漆一下――入口很重要。人们会在短短几秒钟内对自己是不是喜欢房子、这像不像房子(???)做出决定。

修改一下,“像”应该改为“象”

解释:“它是否象个家”意思是“是否有家的感觉”。
