It can be difficult to decide what to update and remodel
if you’re thinking of selling your home
- Homes With Blue Bathrooms Sell for $5,440 More Than Expected
- For-sale listings with cool, neutral wall colours sell for more money
- A fresh coat of paint in the right colour may help sell a home for more money.
Selecting the right paint color is one of many factors that may affect why a home sells faster or for more money. Walls painted in cool neutrals like blue or gray have broad appeal, and may be signals that the home is well cared for or has other desirable features.
Some colors may actually deter buyers.
Homes with darker, more style-specific walls like terracotta dining rooms sold for $2,031 less than expected.
However, a lack of color may have the biggest negative impact as homes with white bathrooms sold for an average of $4,035 below similar homes. Zillow’s full report can be found here.
