No One Cares About Your Granite Anymore

Once upon a time, granite countertops were the status symbol. Now? Buyers walk in and ask about the layout, natural light, and “Can I work from home here?” Granite barely registers.

• 🔳 That fancy stone? Not the flex it used to be.
• 💸 Don’t sink thousands into upgrades that won’t wow today’s buyers.
• 🎯 Instead, focus on the things that matter: fresh paint, smart staging, good flow, and killer first impressions.
• 🏡 Thinking about selling? I’ll tell you what to skip, what to fix, and what will actually sell your home in 2025.

Selling in Auburn or Opelika, AL? I’ve got you. Not local? I’ll personally refer you to a top REALTOR® anywhere in the U.S. that I know and trust. Let’s get your house noticed — and SOLD.

Granite was never really a flex in our market.  We sell a LOT of vacation homes on a lake and beach, dock, water front and view are and have always been the flex.

Bill, you're spot on! Laura Sellers' reblog perfectly captures the shift in buyer priorities. Granite countertops, once a major selling point, are indeed less impactful now. Focusing on natural light, functional layout, fresh paint, and smart staging is crucial for today's market. It's about how a home lives, not just its finishes. Great share!
