Easy Kitchen Fixes to Sell Your Home

Need to sell your home, but don't have the time or money to remodel your kitchen for prospective buyers?

Today's average kitchen remodel costs over $50,000. Try these 7 ways to make your kitchen look great for less.

1. Recycle - Reuse existing elements when possible. 
2. Stay Affordable - Kitchen cabinets often represent at least 50% of remodeling costs so choose wisely. A good place to start looking is IKEA. Also consider repainting or just replacing the doors to your existing cabinets.
3. Research Appliances - Instead of spending less money by purchasing a black appliances, check web sites like Craigslist and Overstock for little-used stainless steel items people are trying to get rid of. 
4. Change a Countertop - By changing countertops you can add an instant updated and fresh look. Instead of paying a lot for high-end finishes, cover with RustOleum's highly durable Countertop Transformation product.
5. Update the backsplash - By removing outdated wallpaper or titles, you can make a huge difference to the entire look of your kitchen. Look for overstocked tiles that cost far less. 
6. New Lighting - Lighting is an easy change that can offer a big payback. Placing lighting under cabinets, within cabinets that are glass fronted and over an island can make your space appear larger and brighter. 
7. Layout Change - If you do have some money to spend, we recommend redoing the layout. If you redo a kitchen, but keep the same poorly functioning kitchen plan, the money spent may not help you sell. 

Hope these affordable alternatives to a full remodel help you sell your home fast!
