TIPS TO HELP HOMES SELL FASTER, and for more money!
Our number one question from sellers is always about what paint color best sells a home!
Our number one answer is….Choose a neutral paint color!
Not much will demonstrate to buyers a home is well kept better than a fresh coat of paint! But the wrong color on your walls can give off bad vibes & turn away buyers. Potential buyers do not want to come into a house that is painted an alarming red or a blinding yellow. They want the color of the walls in their home to be neutral and easy to match with their furnishings.
To narrow options, here are a few of the most popular colors buyers love:
Agreeable Gray by Sherwin-Williams
Silver Strand by Sherwin-Williams (Joanna's go to grey)
Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore
Accessible Beige by Sherwin-Williams
Repose Gray by Sherwin-Williams
Kilim Beige by Sherwin-Williams
Off White by Behr
Alabaster White by Sherwin-Williams
PRO TIP: Most paint stores and hardware stores sell clear "PEEL & STICK" samples.
These can be painted in the color you select and attach to the walls without causing any damage. We suggest you paint several in your choice of color & look at it over several days. Look at it several times a day, lighting can change the color (natural sunlight vs. lightbulbs)! Place it in several different locations, reflections of other items in the room can also altar the appearance. View real paint without the mess. The repositionable, non-damaging adhesive backing allows for viewing in multiple locations and in different lighting without marking up your walls.
Another PRO TIP: USE FLAT PAINT
Flat paint can hide imperfections in the wall. It is also much easier to do touch ups if walls get scuffs when moving! Eggshell and other gloss finishes will draw attention to flaws & the sheen does not usually match if touch ups are needed later. See samples of colors below...
