Kitchen Improvements That Will Pay Off at Resale

As your realtor, I know which kitchen upgrades help homes sell quickly and for top dollar. Smart
remodels and new finishes make the space look fresh and maximize your home’s resale value.
Here are my thoughts-ROI improvements buyers find irresistible:


1- Quartz countertops – Beautiful and durable, natural quartz counters in white, gray or black
tones add timeless sophistication that buyers love. This upgrade recoups over 70% of your
investment.

2- Shaker-style cabinets – Fresh white, gray or blue shaker cabinets give the space a
contemporary facelift. Refacing or replacing worn cabinets completely transforms the look.

3- Backsplash – On-trend backsplashes in marble, glass or mosaic tile protect the walls in style.
They elevate the space wonderfully without breaking the bank.

4- Sink and faucet – A new sink and matte black or bronze faucet freshens the space. Copper
finishes are also popular. Undermount sinks maximize usable counter area.

5- Kitchen island – Islands instantly improve workflow and storage while providing a gathering
spot for casual dining. Open concepts and islands attract buyers.

6- Smart technology – WiFi enabled refrigerators, voice activated helpers and app controls
appeal to tech-savvy buyers looking for modern convenience.

7- Fresh floors – Replacing worn floors with on-trend vinyl plank, quartzite or tile gives the whole
kitchen a stylish update that buyers appreciate.

8- Soft close drawers/doors – Drawers and doors that close slowly and quietly feel
ultra-luxurious. This affordable upgrade makes a big impression.

9- Statement lighting – Pendant lights or an eye-catching fixture creates an inviting, spa-like
ambiance. Lighting can totally transform the space.

10- Painted cabinets – On-trend gray, blue or green painted cabinets provide an affordable
facelift over dated oak or laminate options.

11- pen concept – Knocking down walls between the kitchen and other living spaces maximizes
views and light. Buyers love open layouts.

12- Stainless steel appliances – A matching suite of stainless appliances looks unified and
expensive. Built-in smart features offer convenience that impresses buyers. Expect an excellent
ROI.


As you can see, the right upgrades elevate kitchen aesthetics while offering convenience and
function. By strategically investing in one or more of these, you can maximize your home’s resale
value. Please reach out to discuss how to optimize your kitchen ROI!
