Now I have not read any surveys or done any research about this specifically but I do know this from experience. The kitchen is one of the most used (and often messy) places in a home.The kitchen and bathrooms are two of the critical features that influence buyers when shopping for a new home.
And for this reason it should be a place of major concern when preparing to sell.
There are plenty of helpful lists available online that suggest things to look at when preparing your home for the market. A very good list to look at is this one provided by Yahoo®! Real Estate.
Remember, preparing your home for the market is not a one time thing but rather a constant challenge, especially if you have children!
But, the good news is most buyers understand you are still living in your house.
