May 10, 2017 by Lorri Molnar

sold-lorriWhen you’re simply renovating your home for your own enjoyment, but especially when you are getting ready to sell, it’s important to most homeowners to keep an eye on what features and upgrades increase the value of your home and attract buyers. It’s not simply about return on your investment, although that’s important. It’s also about what makes your home a buyer’s dream home.

So, what features are catching the interest of buyers? Many of them are in the kitchen! Read on to find out what 8 features could help you sell your house faster!

8 Features That Could Help You Sell Your House Faster

By Elyse Umlauf-Garneau

If you’re wondering where to invest your home renovation dollars, look to the kitchen.

Realtor.com® (http://www.realtor.com/news/trends/kitchen-obsession/?iid=rdc_news_hp_carousel_theLatest) analyzed some kitchen-related data and found that kitchens are big.

Big in terms of motivating buyers.

And big in size.

In addition, the right kitchen may help a home sell faster and at premium. 

Realtor.com® looked at all homes listed for sale on realtor.com®, and in 69% of those listings call out the kitchen as a selling, compared to other listings – 49% that mention bedrooms and 21% that mention the living room.

Listings in which sellers describe a “killer kitchen” or a “luxury kitchen” sell 8% faster than similar-sized homes in the same ZIP code.

The Mid-Atlantic region features the biggest kitchens, where they average 170 square feet. The next biggest kitchens, situated in the South Atlantic region, average 166 square feet.

Here are 8 features with the potential to add the most value to your kitchen.

  1. Custom Cabinetry: 41% price premium: (the difference between homes with the feature and homes without in the same ZIP code)
  2. Kitchen island: 30%
  3. Creative lighting: 21%
  4. Granite counters: 18%
  5. Large pantry: 14%
  6. Stainless steel appliances: 12%
  7. Tile backsplash: 7%
  8. Breakfast bar: 6%
