Selling Your Home Soon? Here's the Skinny on Paint!

A question I receive often from people looking to sell is what do they need to do with their home to get it ready for market. Let's look at one simple project that actually has a great return on investment: PAINT!

If selling your home is on the agenda, my suggestion is to lean into colors that offer a blank slate for buyers. Personal color choices (dark accent walls, bright colors, etc) could be a turnoff for buyers, even though we all know that paint is easy to change. The goal in mind here is to help your future buyer envision the space as their own. Your personality shouldn't overshadow the imagination of the buyer!

What colors should you look for? Here are a few options that might give you an idea:

  • Behr: Swiss Coffee
  • Sherwin Williams: Agreeable Gray
  • Benjamin Moore: Macadamia Nut

Perhaps you just want a quick refresh for yourself and are open minded to different color choices (even trendy ones!). Check out the colors the major paint brands (like Behr, Sherwin Williams, and Benjamin Moore) are suggesting as "on trend" for the year. Maybe you'll see something in there that fits your personal style and space to a tee!
