Should I renovate my kitchen before selling my house?

Kitchen renovations rarely pay back their full cost before a sale, since buyers tend to discount for a dated kitchen rather than pay a premium matching a seller's specific remodel choices. Fresh paint, updated hardware and a deep clean typically return more per dollar spent than a full remodel. Brian Beatty reviews a kitchen's actual condition before recommending anything beyond those smaller updates.
