Should I install energy efficient appliances before I sell?

I'm planning to sell my house this spring. Should I install energy efficient appliances before I sell? Can I sell my house for more if I do that?

Hi Mary! I think its very unlikely that energy efficient appliances significantly increase your home value. The only way to know for sure, of course, is to contact a local realtor to have them run comps. Good luck!

Before making this decision, I would ask myself, could my home be marketed as energy-efficient. In other words, are the windows & other things energy efficient? If so, then it may. Also, if your current appliance are very dated then replacing may also add value. If I were going to replace them to add value, I would include the fridge. It is normally not included but having all new matching appliances adds appeal for sure.
