So I have a question about doing upgrades. So I live in a regular house moderate range, moderate neighborhood. We are paying off our house next month, we have lived here for 15 years, waiting for the kids to grow and graduate. This is actually my first house. (not my husbands first) We have remodeled bathrooms, we have switched out all of the flooring, we completely replaced a wall and window that leaked (the wall was severely damaged by the years of leaking) and during this we upgraded the front exterior of our house. Almost our entire house has been slightly upgraded. From the front door to the outlet covers. So we have put some bucks into our house.
Over time, but not all at once, we have changed or improved things in the kitchen to keep it current.
About 12 years ago, our first improvement we put in Dark Grey Corian counters. It was a concession on my part, but I wanted to change out the white tile counters so I went along... (I wasn't as bossy back then lol)
So here is my question, if I am selling my house in five years is it worth it to change the countertop to a quartz? I want a white quartz countertop. My guess is its going to cost me 7-10 to change the counters out and all of my appliances are getting warn out, so we plan on changing those too.
Technically nothing is wrong with my current countertop. But I would really love to change the counter and backsplash. But the last few weeks, I have been putting off getting quotes because I feel guilty. The next owner might come in and rip the entire kitchen out and start over. Or it might be a young couple who is not ready for anything like that.
We can afford it either way. I just don't know...
