Winter is a popular time when homeowners prepare to put their homes on the market. If you’re planning on selling your home, we’d like to help you with some tips that will help your house sell faster, and for the price that you want.
What Should You Paint?
You may have a home with bold color choices. Although you may love those colors, and although you may have spent weeks deciding on just the right color palette for your rooms and furniture, people can be very particular about the color on the inside of homes. Dark blues, greens, and reds take quite a few layers to primer and paint over, and that kind of time-consuming work could be a dealbreaker for a potential buyer.
On the other hand, your paint may already be neutral or white. That’s great – but consider adding a new layer of paint on to freshen up the inside of your house. Take down paintings, fill in the holes, plaster, and then re-paint every room. For people who are looking for a home that’s move-in ready, neutral paint is key. They’re more likely to choose a home where the interior fits their design preferences, and even if they paint over it, it won’t require layers and layers of new paint.
The most important rooms to re-paint are the bathrooms and kitchens. Kitchens are the heart of the home, and most people imagine themselves there with their family and friends, eating and talking. If your wall and ceiling colors are outdated, it’s a big turnoff. Your cabinets should also be repainted in case they look worn or dated. The same goes with bathrooms. The pink paint that was so popular in the late 50s, and the orange color that was all the rage in the 70s is just going to make home buyers laugh and wonder what else has to be updated in your home.
