What is one of the first things buyers look at when viewing a prospective new home? You guessed it...the kitchen! If the kitchen is older and has very dated cabinets, older appliances and beaten countertops, buyers can be very turned off. The same holds true for the bathrooms...little, cramped spaces with cracked tiles, scratched mirrors, old plumbing fixtures and vanities will surely not be buyer inviting.
But fear not, there is help available. The options are quite broad. A relatively inexpensive option for the kitchen would be to replace the appliances, countertops, backsplash and a fresh coat of paint. What a difference this will make. The next option for the kitchen would be a full remodel where the room is basically gutted and everything is replaced from the floor up. Sometimes this expense can be justified in a more expensive home that will get a greater return on this type of investment.
An inexpensive option for a bathroom would be to replace the vanity, countertop , sink, faucet & shower/tub hardware and mirror. Of course, removal of any existing wallpaper and a fresh coat of paint would finish the update. A full bathroom remodel would require all fixtures, tile, tubs, etc. to be removed and then replaced. Again, this can be justified with the return on investment in certain homes.
