Did the home with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances sell for significantly more than the home with slightly less expensive finishes?

But that number will vary by the quality of the upgrade, vinyl floors or expensive travertine tile, Formica counter tops or granite.

Kitchens are in need of substantial repair but with work, could possibly be reworked so that the room functions, but is not really up to today's granite countertop standards - should I renovate the kitchens with new cabinets and appliances?

I will definitely put granite in the kitchen and maybe tile the tubs.This is a nearby sale (with very ugly photos) with the same floorplan from last year, before the prices started really zooming up in the area.Nearby cloneHere are my numbers if anyone is interested:Purchase price: $114,000 (no closing costs or financing; acquired as a sub-to)Estimated fixes: $20,000 (I think this is pretty accurate, as we just had it inspected for the sale)Holding/selling costs: $10,000ARV: About $160KI know it's tight, but I'm new at this.

It has 1 1/2 baths and both are original and need to be redone, hardwood floors in the bedrooms could certainly use some work, I have to get my floor guy there to see if he thinks they need to be sanded or not, it needs new carpeting in the living room and family room, kitchen isn't bad but we'll be putting granite in there along with new appliances.

(Granite, Quartz, Solid surface, etc.?) 

Ya know, in the age of "all things I touch shall be granite", I really enjoy seeing some low-budget / great outcome innovation.

I hired out the plumbing, electrical, granite counters and tile but I installed cabinets, trim and lighting.

I actually have a contact I have saved somewhere for granite at a wholesale price.

I have not been out to the property she reported to me that it didn't need any updates other than cosmetic, things like granite counter tops.
