The NAR conducted a survey of buyers and found that:

• Buyers were usually “interested” or “somewhat interested” in a home that featured new appliances; about 17% of participants said they preferred stainless steel. • The most important factor was available appliances. • Most buyers unable to get their sought-after appliances said they would have been willing to pay, on average, nearly $2,000 more on top of the home’s listing price for them. Prospective buyers want working appliances in a home they’re considering purchasing, and they will pay more if your home includes them, particularly if they are new, clean, and in excellent condition.
