KITCHEN UPGRADES BEFORE SELLING Upgrades to your kitchen can go a long way when listing your home for sale. You don't have to go all out and renovate the entire kitchen to boost your home's saleability because a few smaller changes can make the impact you're looking for. Adding crown molding to the top of your cabinets can give your kitchen a sophisticated look many buyers are attracted to. Swapping out the hardware on the cabinet doors is another quick and relatively inexpensive way to update the look of your kitchen. Choose matching finishes if you have different sized knobs and pulls in the various cabinets and measure, measure, measure so you don't have to fill in or create new holes. Giving your cabinets new life by painting them or adding beadboard for a textured finish is another common upgrade that can be done relatively easily. If your appliances are mismatched or getting to the end of their lifespan, investing in new, high-quality appliances will appeal to many buyers as well. A general rule of thumb is spending around 5 to 10 percent of the value of your home will get you a fair return on your investment which averages around 52 to 70 percent.
