Tile seems too expensive and hard to deal with to me.
But the question is really "how much do you want to sell the house for?"
IF you are prepared to just get rid of it, then don't do anymore than
you absolutely have to.
But you said it was in a good area etc so if the market is ok around
there, maybe you can capitalize on the location.
Then you need to make it look really good. A basic patch is not enough.
You need to watch some of these home flipper shows on TV. They know how
to modernize and stage a home so that buyers are willing to pay a good
price.
If the rest of the home justifies the investment, I would have a look at
some of the new show homes in the area and see what the popular trends
are right now and then I would try to copy them.
A few years ago it was granite countertops and stainless steel
appliances. Many years ago, it was shag carpet etc.
Try to make it look like the new higher end housing and not like someone
who truly did not care about it, patched up an obvious problem and maybe
did not do it all that well.
You need to keep the yard clean too - get rid of those leaves on the ground.
