How to attract more buyers when selling your house
When selling your home, having a modern kitchen is one of the most important elements in attracting a buyer. Ask any broker and they will tell you the same thing. Unfortunately, renovating an entire kitchen is extremely expensive. In this guide, I’ll share with you some of the best ways to prepare your kitchen to attract buyers. The good news is that these forms will be affordable!
Cabinets can be repaired by reattaching rather than doing a complete renovation. If they are done right, they will look like new. There are so many options to choose from when changing faces, so select something that has a modern feel. This will make your old and scratched cabinets look fresh.
Do you have laminate countertops? This was a common material used for kitchen counters, but is unfortunately out of date. It is most likely also all scratched and discolored.
If this is the case, then it is extremely important that you make a change. Many people think that replacing meters will cost you sky-high prices, but there are affordable ways to do it. In fact, new countertops make up about 15% of a complete kitchen renovation. New countertops can completely change the look.
There is another option if you choose not to face your cabinets. Upgrade your hardware! Replacing hardware can be expensive, but there are plenty of affordable options. Stores like Home Depot have affordable options.
One of the most important parts of a great room is the amount of light it receives. If you don’t get natural light, do you have enough lights to make it feel bright? If not, consider adding under cabinet lighting. This will also make the kitchen look really modern and stylish, while also adding a nice touch of mood lighting.
Most electricians will know how to custom install these lights. You can find different lighting options at most home improvement stores, like Home Depot. You probably only need four or five small under cabinet lights, but this depends on how much space you have.
There are still a few other things to work on like new appliances and flooring. However, this can be quite expensive. If the floors are wood, do a simple sanding. Remember, the money you invest in your kitchen is an investment and when you sell your house, it should pay off!
