The Kitchen Mistake HGTV Says Could Hurt Your Home's Resale Value
By AMANDA FINN
Cohesion is the key to good interior design, which can impact your home’s resale value. In the kitchen, potential buyers are often put off by mismatched or outdated appliances.
Buying new appliances can add nearly 10% to your home’s value. While sticking with one brand isn’t necessary, it can help you match finishes and save money on bulk deals.
Having new, well-functioning appliances can make or break a sale for middle-class buyers, and replacing any that are over a decade old will instantly upgrade
your kitchen.
To get the most for your money, don’t spend too much on luxury brand appliances, as most homebuyers outside the high-end market care more about energy efficiency and aesthetics.
