Kitchen and Bath: Focus on these high-impact areas. Potential buyers might forgive a less-than-stellar child’s room, but a questionable kitchen or bathroom could cost you a sale. Buyers are most turned off by dirty, grungy kitchens and bathrooms. Nobody wants to eat or shower in a place they feel is nasty or disgusting. Now, that doesn’t mean you can create stunning bathrooms and kitchens while leaving the rest of the home a mess and still expect to sell your house for top dollar. Just make sure you address your bathroom and kitchen first.
