Kitchens Sell Homes

Remodeling magazine reports every year that a kitchen remodel generates one of the largest returns, 76-79 percent, on the investment. If your kitchen needs a better look, but you can't afford a complete kitchen remodel, consider these eight fixes to help sell your home faster and for more money:

·        Replace the countertops, sink and fixtures to modernize the kitchen.

·        Replace linoleum or vinyl flooring with ceramic tiles.

·        Paint or re-stain worn wood cabinets.

·        Install cabinet hardware, if you don't have any, or replace or paint any outdated hardware.

·        Remove outdated or busy wallpaper and any bold, bright or personal paint choices.

·        Keep all countertops free and clear of appliances, butcher blocks and knickknacks.

·        Remove pet food bowls, scatter rugs and garbage cans from view.

·        Keep the kitchen sparkling and smelling clean daily.
