Contrary to what you might be hearing right now not all houses are selling with multiple offers over asking price. I was browsing through photos of houses that did not sell recently in the MLS and one thing that became glaringly obvious was that outdated kitchen counters seem to be standard in almost every one. It is difficult for a seller who is leaving a house to invest in something they did not want or need for themselves that might otherwise make their house more marketable but it might be necessary to help the sale. Most sellers are afraid of the expense, inconvenience, and mess. There are some very good alternatives to replacing the kitchen counters. Often it is just a matter of getting a bid from a local contractor or home improvement store. There are many new alternatives to tearing up the kitchen. Here are a few to try: granitetranformations.com and crystaltopoverlay.com both are inexpensive quick alternatives to new countertops and as you can see in the photos the before and after are amazing. Some are epoxy based while there are granite tiled and even forms filled with stained concrete that work wonders.
