For many prospective homebuyers, an outdated kitchen is a deal-breaker.

Some inexpensive upgrades may help you sell your house.

Repair damaged countertops or replace them with granite ones.

Replace an old sink and faucet and install an attractive backsplash.

If your kitchen has vinyl flooring, replace it with something more modern.

Install new appliances if necessary. If the existing appliances work, but just don’t look good, install new face panels.

If your cabinets are outdated but in good shape, repaint them and replace the hardware.

Improve lighting in the kitchen.

Ask your real estate agent for advice on kitchen upgrades that could help you sell your home.
