The Kitchen is one of the most important aspects of a home to many home buyers.
First of all, get everything off the counter, even the toaster. You can put it in a cabinet for the time being and get it out when you need it. But be careful. Don't put too many things in drawers and cupboards because you will be cleaning those out too. Pack the things you don't use every day up in a box and put it in storage with the rest of those knickknacks and trophies. You want lots of open counter space! Make room.
Home buyers looking at houses for sale will typically open drawers and cabinets. They are making sure there is plenty of room for their stuff. If your pantry, cupboards, and drawers look jam-packed full, it will send the negative message that there is not enough room and their cabinet, pantry, or cupboards will be packed as well.
There will be no junk drawer! Look at it this way. You will be moving soon anyway, so why not start packing now!
If you have a well-stocked pantry, start eating it up! Why lug it with you when you move?
One critical area is beneath the sink. Yes, people will look here. Make sure it is as empty as possible. And scrub it clean to check for any signs of leaking. That would definitely cause someone to hesitate in buying a house and start looking for other possible leaks.
