It all starts with the kitchen
For many home buyers the kitchen is the first room to look at and increasingly the center of family life and entertaining. A dated, poorly designed kitchen can drastically effect your home value and saddle potential buyers with a 5 figure (or more!) remodeling project before they even move in the first sofa. Conversely, a modern and well-appointed kitchen can offer a competitive advantage in the housing market as well as turnkey property convenience for potential buyers. Kitchen remodels have consistently provided a return on investment (ROI) of 66% on national average and returns can be maximized even further by making smart decisions.

Set Realistic Goals & Buy Smart

When remodeling a kitchen it is important to keep the project within range of your local real estate market. Putting a $40,000 kitchen remodel in a $200,000 home will result in a very poor ROI. There is a point of diminishing returns on any home improvement project, and often times you may only need to give your kitchen a facelift (for a fraction the cost of a major remodel) to get your kitchen up to competitive market status.

You can also shop smart by focusing on the kitchen appliances and features that potential buyers are looking for. It can be easy to blow the budget on a few items when remodeling a kitchen. Make sure you are spending your remodeling dollars on popular features and amenities that maximize the value of your remodel and the appeal of your kitchen to potential buyers.
