Prior to listing a home for sale, there are many variables to consider in making your home stand out among the rest. De-cluttering, updating, and staging make a difference, but what impact does paint or lack of have on the sale of Real Estate? In my professional opinion it has a huge impact and is a key factor in the process of selling a home which will sell quicker and net more money!
The majority of the homes that I sell are located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and one the primary recommendations that I make, if required, is painting the home where needed. Sellers often say, “Well it looks fine to me” or “The next owners may not like the color selection that I choose”! When was the last time that you were in a model home? You will see designer selected colors in every room! I could site many examples but one in particular stands out. I had 60 showings in a 12-week period at a very nice home and location in Doylestown, PA. I encouraged the sellers to paint only a few rooms prior to listing and they did not think that it would be a selling issue. I encouraged then to paint the entry foyer, upper hallway, and dining room and they agreed! The home sold within 2 weeks and over asking price. The only difference being was they added color to these rooms. Not just any color buy colors selected by professional stagers.
Interior color gives a room a better appearance, makes rooms seem to be larger and creates a dynamic flow throughout the home. It also enhances the furniture, staging and other décor. As an Associate Broker and one of the top Realtors in the Bucks County region, I always encourage sellers to utilize the services of a staging consultant prior to listing, which I provide at no cost. What is your experience or opinion?
