Your kitchen countertops and the lighting scheme in the space make a big difference in the way that buyers feel about it. However, you may not need to replace your countertops or update your lighting scheme. You should talk to your real estate agent about the improvements you need to make.

One word of advice, though: if your kitchen is extremely outdated, a few cosmetic upgrades can make all the difference in the world. For example, if you have old, laminate countertops and light fixtures that are old enough to vote, it may be worthwhile for you to update them before putting your home on the market.
