Investors put their $ where it will get the most bang for their buck, especially for a first impression/curb appeal. Some things are just invisible to people, especially a 1st time buyer. Things like furnace, water heater, window age & quality, water pressure, etc. People like to see modern kitchen & bathrooms, newly painted walls, new flooring, etc.

Dh was just the opposite. He's very handy and would rather not pay more for a previous owner's updates.(Their choice of ugly oak cabinets, puke-green carpeting, etc.) We got a stellar price on a 35 yr old home with all original everything in it. We gradually updated things how WE wanted it. Everyone's needs are different. Some people want a home that is move-in ready.

I bought new appliances when we moved here 12 years ago. The stove died last year. Keeping an eye on the fridge because I figure it could be on its way out too. (Both are white, by the way!) I don't think white kitchens are really ever completely out of style, although they get more popular from time to time.
