Kitchens Sell Homes

One of the biggest obstacles to overcome in successfully selling a home has to be an outdated kitchen and/or bathroom.  Real estate agents and for-sale-by-owners always have this problem in a buyer’s market when the market is saturated with other homes for sale.   People want the best deal possible so if a similarly priced home is available in the area and has a better kitchen and bathroom, that is the home which will move first.  When your kitchen is outdated, you could sit on the market for months and months and face price reduction after reduction.

The truth is, if you put in the effort to have your kitchen updated, you will usually sell at a much higher price.  Without the upgrade, you will sell much lower.  And the difference in between can be catastrophic for many sellers.  The amount of money you pay for an upgrade from A Classic Kitchen Front is usually much less than what you would lose without an upgrade.  And you would likely make your money back with a higher selling price.

While traditional kitchen upgrades can be extremely costly, A Classic Kitchen Front provides INEXPENSIVE solutions for entire kitchen remodels which are a fraction of the cost for traditional kitchen makeovers.  Really!

Example*:

Two Homes: same style, same neighborhood, same year build, similar SF, acreage and number of bedrooms and priced according to the market.

Home A
No Kitchen Upgrade
List price:  $300k
After 8 months and several reductions, finally sells at $250k
$50k Loss

Home B
Kitchen Upgrade From A Classic Kitchen Front -$7k**  (What?  Did you think it would be $50k?  Not with us.)
List Price $300k
Sells in 2 months at $315k
+8k Gain

The point is, you stand to lose MUCH more without an upgrade.  Conversely, you should sell at a higher price point when you upgrade, getting back the cost of the upgrade.

*This is just an example and actual selling prices will vary from homeowner to homeowner.
**The cost of a kitchen upgrade from A Classic Kitchen Front will vary according to kitchen size.
