Kitchens are the heart of the home and a focal point for home buyers and homeowners alike. Most buyers are looking for move-in ready homes, so a dated kitchen can turn them away and leave a house sitting on the market. On the other hand, a newly renovated or refreshed kitchen can have many benefits.

Kitchens are so impactful that 68% of buyers say it’s their make-or-break home feature. Pre-listing kitchen updates can significantly boost home value so homeowners can increase their asking price and walk away with more money in their pockets. A modernized kitchen can also help reel buyers in. Curbio homes tend to spend fewer days on market than homes sold as they are. Both benefits lead to happier homeowners and as a result, better business for agents and brokers.
