Homebuyer' Penchant for Stainless Steel
Kitchen Appliances
By Mark J. Donovan

When a perspective homebuyer walks
through a home that is for sale, there is invariably one of two comments made
when they enter the kitchen: “Oh good, they have stainless steel kitchen
appliances” or “Oh, the kitchen appliances are not stainless steel”.
There is no point in resisting the fact that today’s zeitgeist, when it comes to
kitchens and selling homes, is that homebuyers desire stainless steel kitchen
appliances. Consequently, if you plan on selling your home sometime in the not
too distant future you may want to seriously consider upgrading your kitchen
with stainless steel kitchen appliances. |
| For whatever reason, homebuyers have become infatuated
with shiny stainless steel. Admittedly the stainless steel looks chic,
however stainless steel kitchen appliances have a couple of major negatives in
my book. First, they attract fingerprints like bears to honey. Second,
you cannot stick magnets to stainless steel, and let’s face it our
refrigerators have historically been the focal point in homes for
posting pictures, phone numbers, and even our children’s school work
creations. |

Regardless of history, functionality, and practicality, however, homebuyers
prefer stainless steel and there is no getting around it. In a tough housing
market a home seller needs to do everything they can to make their home a
memorable and attractive one to perspective home buyers.
So if you want to put your best foot forward in an attempt to sell your
home, seriously consider replacing the old white or black kitchen appliances
with a new stainless steel refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and microwave. |

Stainless steel kitchen appliances are typically a
little more expensive than their non-stainless steel counterparts,
however not by much if you stick with common appliance brand names. In
addition, you can even find kitchen appliances that appear to have
stainless steel surfaces however are able to support magnets. Though
you may not be able to escape the constant wiping down of the new
appliances to remove fingerprints, at least you will be able to post
Johnny’s report card on the refrigerator. |
