REPLACING APPLIANCES
Assuming you’ve lived in your current home for a considerable amount of time, it’s likely that your appliances might be outdated or not working as well as they could be. You might find the cost of replacing some of your appliances worth it when you have ROI in mind. Buyers love a home with newer, modern-looking, and fully functional appliances. The National Association of Realtors found that homebuyers are generally interested in homes that come with appliances already in place, and features like updated kitchen appliances can influence buyer decisions. In fact, among buyers who didn’t get the kitchen appliances they wanted, many reported they would have been willing to pay roughly $1,800 more for a home that included them. While appliances aren’t the single most important factor in a sale, having updated, functioning appliances can make your home more appealing and help it stand out in a competitive market. Your Realtor can help you understand which upgrades make sense for your specific market and price point.
KITCHEN AND BATHROOM
Kitchens and bathrooms are pivotal rooms. These two areas can make or break a sale. When shopping for a home, many buyers want an updated, clean, appealing, and functional kitchen and bathroom. In fact, most buyers, when they’re considering a home purchase, look at and assess kitchens and bathrooms first, before anything else.
