do want to create mass appeal. Kitchens are pivotal in-home appeal. Think about what can be done to your kitchen and bath to impress buyers — without losing ROI.
Giving Your Kitchen the “Wow” Factor:
• Paint neutral colors. • Add a new backsplash. • Replace dated, scratched, or unattractive countertops. • Install a new, multifunctional kitchen faucet. • Add cabinet space or increase storage in the pantry. • Clean and/or refinish cabinets and replace outdated hardware.
For the Bath:
• Replace dated bathroom vanities. • Pedestal sinks or trendy cabinet sinks have mass appeal. • Replace toilet seats.
