Consumers are watching their budgets and eating out less often, so a great kitchen can be a hot real estate selling point. If you are a Bennington, Vermont homeowner thinking of selling your home, consider making some free or low-cost changes to your kitchen to increase your home’s worth.
• Clear the counters – tucking toasters, blenders and other small appliances away can showcase the work space.
• Paint the area a soft, inviting color to appeal to the eye of the potential homeowner.
• Keep appliances and work areas sparkling clean. Toss dirty sponges and stow cleaning supplies. Replace worn-out burner covers, tired rugs (even the one under the pet dish!) and dish towels.
• Clean and polish the kitchen cabinets – treat them as if they were a piece of furniture and let them glow! If new cabinet pulls aren’t in the budget, spiff them up with a coat of metal-friendly paint, or buff them to a shine.
