Will adding a kitchen pantry increase the value to our flip?

[Lucero Sanchez]

To pantry or not to pantry that is the question,  this is the first time we get a house with no pantry, it looks like it had a pantry before but was removed to ad a doggy door. If it did have a party it must have been the cabniet kind not the built in. The kitchen does have a good amount of cabniets here is a pic of the kitchen just before we updated (we live in our flip, but are getting it ready to sell) 

This is a pic of the area that looks like a pantry was there before where the water jug is at.

So the question is will adding a pantry increase the value of the property, if it doesn't should I still ad a pantry?

The value add would be totally up to the buyer. Generally I would say the appraisal wouldn't be much different if at all. If the kitchen already has plenty of storage I wouldn't do it. If the kitchen is lacking then it may be worth it dependent upon your costs.
