Depending on their condition, kitchens and bathrooms have the ability to sell houses or sink deals. A spacious kitchen with plenty of counter space and all the essential amenities — a clean range, refrigerator, microwave oven, and dishwasher — creates an impression that the kitchen is an inviting place to prepare meals and hang out with friends and family members. A sparkling-clean, well-lit bathroom with plenty of storage space creates a sense of comfort and cleanliness that permeates the house.

Although you should never over-improve a property, renovations that bring the kitchen and bath up to market standards always pay for themselves by adding real value to the property and making it more attractive to buyers.

See Chapter 17 for the full scoop on renovating kitchens and bathrooms.
