With how hot the housing market is right now, you may be considering selling your own. And like most people, you probably want to make some upgrades to your home to ensure you get the highest possible offer. As you search for parts of your house that could be upgraded or replaced, you may consider updating your countertops. In many cases, new countertops can increase home value, depending on:
The Condition of Your Current Counters
Are new countertops a consideration because your current ones are looking worse for wear? If there are any sort of blemishes or damage on your counters that can’t be easily fixed, it would be most beneficial to replace them with brand-new, gleaming countertops.
The Material You Pick
New countertops don’t automatically result in a return on investment—try to steer clear of anything too trendy or unique. It’s easier for buyers to envision themselves in your home if there are more popular and timeless counters in place, like granite or quartz. It’s especially helpful to pick a more neutral color.
The Rest of Your Kitchen or Bathroom
If you’ve recently updated other components of your kitchen or bathroom like appliances, cabinets, flooring, or paint, new countertops may not be entirely necessary. However, if all of these upgrades have your older counters sticking out like a sore thumb, replacing them may be the best move.
