Is a $3700 Quartz Countertop Upgrade Worth It to Speed Up My Home Sale? (US-MO)

Question

Kitchen is well-kept but dated. Is investing $3700 to replace formica with quartz a smart move when the appliances remain old-fashioned?

I’m intrigued by quartz as a quick update. It adds modern flair, but can it really offset older appliances? How do you feel about mixing updates? Could this spark more comprehensive renovations or help only if the kitchen’s overall look improves?
