Top Kitchen Details That Boost Sale Price

Top Kitchen Details That Boost Sale Price

When it comes to selling your home, small details can make a big difference—especially in the kitchen. According to recent research from Zillow, certain kitchen features, when mentioned in a listing, can boost a home’s final sale price!

High-End Countertops

Stone counters have always been popular, but newer choices are stealing the spotlight. Homes with soapstone counters sold for 3.5% above expected value. Quartz followed at 2.6%, and onyx at 2.3%. These richly veined stones are dramatic and stylish, sending a clear message that this isn’t your average kitchen.

“New Appliances”

Simply including the words “new appliances” in your listing can add up to 2.7% to your sale price. Today’s buyers are drawn to modern, high-performance kitchens that are move-in ready, so make sure to highlight any recent upgrades—even if it’s just a new range or fridge.

Walnut Cabinets

If your home has walnut cabinetry, you’re in luck because these kitchens sold on average for 2.2% more than expected. The rich, warm tone of walnut fits beautifully into both classic and contemporary styles and continues to feel timeless..

Pot Fillers

Buyers love small luxuries that make cooking easier. Pot fillers, a wall-mounted faucet above the stove, help homes sell for 2.2% more. It’s a tiny feature that offers big function.

Entertainer Favorites

If your home includes a pizza oven, ice machine, or beverage center, don’t leave it out of the description. These features boosted sales by up to 2% and are especially appealing to those who love hosting. Even if they’re not must-haves, they add a “wow” factor that helps buyers picture future parties and gatherings.

Induction Cooktops

Concerns over gas stoves have more buyers leaning toward induction cooking—and listings that mention induction cooktops saw a 1.9% bump in price. These efficient ranges are fast, safe, and align with modern environmental preferences.
