Why You Should Invest Your Tax Refund in New Kitchen Countertops
You’ve wanted to redo kitchen countertops for years now, but it was just never the right time. Tax season is upon us, and with that comes tax returns. It’s always tempting to get that new lawnmower, go on a shopping spree, or take a vacation. Have you considered investing that money into your home? Putting this money into your home or property will not only make you love it even more, but also increase the value.
Countertops are one of the most impactful investments that you can make in your home in a variety of ways. They are also on the lower end when it comes to cost for investment, usually ranging from $3-8,000 or more depending on the amount of space that you have done and the material that you select. When you go to sell your home, new countertops are going to be a very apparent upgrade that potential buyers can see easily when being shown the house, and often heavily influences their amount of interest and overall decision.
There is no one perfect material that is going to both look great and increase home value the most, but there are some tips that can help you. Look at what other nice homes in your area have used for countertop material. Research market trends and what is projected to be popular for the future. Visit local showrooms and see what stones look good to you and would match your space.
Quartz is a great choice for most kitchens. This highly durable engineered stone comes in the widest range of colors and styles, including marble look alikes for when you want the timeless style without the hassle. Granite is another great choice for those that are set on getting a natural stone. Granite countertops have been popular for decades but used to be out of reach because of price for the standard homeowner. Now that prices have come down considerably, granite is becoming the standard luxury countertop material in modern homes.
Don’t catch yourself sitting wondering where your tax return went for another year in a row. Invest your money in your property to not only increase your enjoyment in being there, but increase your property value.
