Selling your home? Before you create that market listing, you should consider how you can boost your property’s value.
I’m sure that most sellers are looking for ways to create a more profitable sale. There are many things that homeowners can do to increase their home’s value – and, many of them don’t require big budget renovations. In fact, sellers have many options that are both easy and affordable.
One such option is painting the house. A fresh coat of paint can wield immense power in increasing your home’s value, and it’s all about choosing the right color. Here are 6 paint colors that can help generate a more profitable sale:
Choose Light Colors for Interiors
When it comes to interiors, always go neutral. Lighter colors establish an open space for prospective buyers to explore. Lighter tones are less personal which can help interested buyers imagine themselves in the house.
Besides creating a comfortable space for buyers, bright colors make the home feel clean while also expanding the space. Dark painted walls can make rooms look and feel smaller, whereas light colors open up the room.
Try going with a light gray, eggshell cream, or white. All of these colors will make your home more attractive to buyers.
Dark and Neutral Exteriors
There’s no way around it – the outside of a home undergoes a lot of wear and tear. Between the wind, rain, snow, and sun; the exterior paint job can quickly degrade. But, this can be prevented by choosing the right color.
Light colors fade faster than darker ones. Light colors have a tendency to show every last scratch and stain, so sellers should consider choosing a deep hue. Dark grays, blues, and even neutral browns are great options to paint your home.
While a white house may dazzle buyers in the beginning, in terms of the deal itself, it’s not always the most attractive property asset.
A savvy home buyer knows that a light-colored house requires a lot of upkeep, which can be a deterrent. On the other hand, a darker colored home offers a low-maintenance option for buyers – making it a great market advantage.
Don’t Forget the Details
Accent colors are just as important as the main paint job. Give your home a seamless finish by paying attention to all of the details.
Highlight the room by choosing a nice shade for your baseboards, door frames, and even light switches and power outlets. Exterior paint jobs can be spruced up even further by using an attractive accent hue for window frames, columns, doorways, and other features.
These 6 colors will help get your home market-ready, bringing you closer to a prosperous sale. For more real estate tips, make sure to keep up with our blog.
