According to Remodel Magazine, the average cost for a high-end kitchen in 2012 and 2013 is $53,931. Obviously, there is a lot of value in your kitchen - which is why it's an important place to spend your money if you want to maximize your return when selling your home.
When remodeling, an important question to ask is, "Who are these renovations for?" If they are for your enjoyment, customize away! Just remember, the more customized your kitchen is, the less likely it is to appeal to a mass audience.
The question comes down to what your motivation is for the remodel. If you want to get a return on your investment, it's important to remember not to get too caught up in today's trends. In short, play it safe. The more mass market appeal your kitchen has, the higher it's value on the market.
A good place to start is with the countertops. Our advice is to go with granite - it has longevity, durability, marketability, and it looks fantastic. Trendy styles you may want to avoid are glass, lava stone, quartz, and concrete. In short, go with a time tested product if you want to sell your home.
