Look into that a bit. It will raise the value of you home, but will it raise it as much as you put into the new kitchen? Some people saw what we did to our old house with a new kitchen, huge deck, new floors, bar/party room etc. Sunk a lot of money into it over the 4 years we lived there & got about 1/2 of it back when we sold it.
That's one of the reasons I liked the addition that we're doing, because it's adding 600 sq ft to the house
If you're gonna redo the kitchen (might as well do the floor & paint/wallpaper) figure on $100/sq ft.
