Kitchen upgrades perceived as “modern” — like stainless steel and quartz countertops or Shaker cabinets — can bump your home’s sale price by 3 to 7 percent. No matter what kitchen renovations you choose to make, though, do your research before signing on the dotted line. “Consult with real estate brokers and architects in the area that you live,” said Sidney Torres, host of CNBC’s “The Deed.” “Go see the past work of the contractors before committing to one.”
Average Cost: Including appliances, the average kitchen remodel costs homeowners about $22,100, though smaller revamps — like a combo of painting, refinishing the fixtures and adding a backsplash — range between $10,000 and $15,000.*
