What is probably the biggest selling point of any house ? If I had to choose one and only one feature of a home that generally breaks or makes the deal it would have to be the Kitchen. A nice kitchen deffinitely sets the home apart from other choices in a buyers price range. Usually people would opt to have a newer updated kitchen, as opposed too say a bigger living room with an out of date kitchen. So follow the trends of the market when it comes to putting together a kitchen. For one stainless steel is huge rite now and in any home above the 200k range buyers pretty much expect it. Aside from that in more affordable entry level homes a stainless steel fridge and appliances might very well set it apart from the other options in that price range. Countertops, of course everyone loves marble these days, but if you aren't trying to break the bank on a countertop go faux. Often there are relatively attractive alternatives to marble and granite that most buyers would find suitable. Especially for the discounted price. So keep in mind a super kitchen might very well set your home apart.
