Investments That Will Increase your Property Value this Fall: Upgrade the Kitchen

If you want to increase your home’s selling price, it often will take money to make money. Doing renovations, or making changes in the design can really help you get the best price for your home. If you can update your property so that buyers can imagine themselves hosting family the same week they move in, that’s a good indication that you have maximized your investment.

Over the next few weeks, we will be focusing on what you can do to increase the chances of selling your home quicker and for a price closer to what you are hoping for. This week, our focus is on the big one... the kitchen.

Although there are many possibilities when renovating the kitchen, a few key upgrades will go a long way. Cabinets is a great starting point. Whether you are installing new cabinets or just updating doors and handles, this upgrade will do wonders for your home. The other upgrade we would recommend would be the countertops and / or appliances. For counters, a nice quartz countertop is a great option. Quartz is slowly becoming as popular as marble and granite in high-end kitchens, not only because it looks great, it is also very durable. Stainless steel appliances are another great investment, as it is a must have for many potential buyers.

We are not saying you must upgrade your kitchen in order to sell your home, but this investment can often times help bring in more money from a buyer because the space would be move in ready which is a big draw for many buyers.
