Granite Countertops – Home Buyers Want Them!
Rose King brings us a good post about updating those counter tops and the fact that Granite will will catch the home buyers eye before other types. A big investment but the eye candy gets the offer. Please leave your comments on Rose's page. She will appreciate hearing from you!
There are many different opinions on the most important things a seller can do to help their home sell quickly. Of course, price is of huge importance, and so is de-cluttering and staging. But if a seller is willing to spend a little money on updates to help get their home sold, my suggestion would be to update the kitchen with granite countertops.
Almost every buyer I have worked with wants granite in the kitchen. They can live without granite in the bathrooms, but it’s one of the first things they look for in the kitchen. I don’t think I have ever had a buyer choose a home with formica or tile countertops over a similar house with granite, unless the price was significantly different.
Granite countertops can be installed at a reasonable price, depending on the size of the kitchen and the amount of counter space. There are many Level One granites that are quite beautiful and very reasonably priced.
Of course, if you put in granite countertops, you will need a nice backsplash to go with it. There are some inexpensive ceramic tiles that look really nice. And, one of the prettiest kitchens I have ever seen used inexpensive bead-board for the backsplash.
One thing you would want to change out would be your kitchen sink and faucet. It’s best to go with an under-mount sink. Check the big-box home improvement stores for the best price.
If you can spend a little money on updates for your home, the kitchen is the place to splurge. Those granite countertops can make your home more competitive, and the cost will be well worth it when you get that offer from a qualified buyer.
