Should I Paint My House Before Selling?

Picture
​Selling and thinking about painting your house can be anxiety-inducing. Whatever the reason for selling is, you’re essentially letting go of the house you’ve lived in for some time. And it’s not just the stress of parting from your house, you’ll also have to think about selling it as soon as possible so that you do not prolong your anxiety of thinking of selling the house at the highest value it can be sold at. One way for sellers to increase the value of their home is to repaint both the interior and exterior of the house.
 
Painting your house significantly increases the aesthetic appeal of your house. So, it is a good idea to paint your house if you’re thinking about selling it. This makes the house look fresh and clean. Aside from that, buyers would generally prefer to buy a house that can already be lived in as soon as possible. Next up are some tips that should be followed when putting your home up for sale for a maximum value and a quicker sale.

Picture
Some Tips When Painting Your House for Selling
 
When you are repainting your house to sell it, you shouldn’t go crazy with the paint job that you give the house. It’s tempting to add your character into the paint job that you will be effected upon the house but keep in mind that you will not be the one who will be living in the house. At this point, you don’t even know yet what the next house occupant likes or dislikes. Buyers might not have the same taste in color as you do and so going bold on the colors might put off some buyers from choosing your house. Instead, choose a neutral color that will appeal to a broader audience. This way you have a larger pool of would-be buyers, and you can afford to be a picky seller.
 
Another thing to keep in mind is to paint both the interior and exterior of your house. The exterior of your house will give the prospective buyers their first impression, and this will contribute much to their decision on which house to buy. Likewise, the interior painting of the house will make it appear cleaner and brighter. If you forgo with painting the house, there would be many prospective buyers who would decide against buying your house solely because it doesn’t appear large enough or clean enough.
 
If you can’t decide on a new color for the painting job, stick to gray-blues for the walls and navy blue for the accents or seek advice from the professional painters in Warner Robins. Houses with greyish colors have been known to sell faster compared to others. Except for when the blue hues are painted in the living room. It has been reported that living rooms painted hues of blues don’t sell for so much. Other colors you will want to avoid are yellow in the kitchen, white in the bathroom, and red on the dining room.

Painting the House Before Selling Is Not Always Ideal
 
Painting your house is not a cheap feat. It can cost several hundreds to thousands of dollars. It is essential, therefore, to make sure that the paint job you’re getting is cost effective. Before embarking on a house painting project, think about how much value the paint job would add to your home.
 
In some cases, it might not be worth spending money if you will not be getting a proportionately larger value for your house after the paint job. This is especially true in house markets where there is a preponderance of buyers who prefer fixer-uppers. For some buyers, getting a new house is a chance for them to add their character to the physical appearance of the house.
 
In some instances, the housing market may be booming, and so it wouldn’t matter whether you paint your house before selling or not. The house will sell just the same. In this case, you shouldn’t worry about painting your house, or else you will just be burning money and wasting time.

Other Things You Should Do Before Selling Your House

  • Make it look clean and tidy
No one wants to live in a filthy home, especially if they’ve just paid a lot of money for that new home. By keeping your home clean and tidy at the time the would-be buyer drops in for a walk-through, he or she can see the best version of the house.
 
A few things you can do to make your house look clean and tidy is to throw away everything that you do not use in the house. This is an excellent way to start getting rid of your unessential things before you will have to move to a new place. Also, keep in mind that your counters and tables should be as mess free as possible. Do not leave things on counters except for a few decorative items which can add appeal to the interior design of your home.

  •   Update your kitchen and bathroom
An updated kitchen and bathroom will make buyers feel that it will be convenient for them to use these rooms whereas old kitchen appliances will lead the buyers to think that either they will have to buy new kitchen and bathroom equipment or live through the inconvenience of old equipment. Just make sure, though, that the amount you spend on updating the kitchen and bathroom is not so much that it takes away the profit you could get from selling your house.

  • Remove some furniture from your house 
This applies to other clutter in your home as well. This is important so that there is room for the buyers to think about what could be added to the room to give. This way, they can imagine ways on how to make the rooms in the house reflect their character more and give it a homey feel for them.

  • Increase the curb appeal
Just as painting the exterior of the house gives a good first impression to the buyers, you also need to keep the external aspects of the house in good order. For example, your fence might not be so appealing anymore; hence you will want to repaint it as well or redo the whole fence.
      
An affordable project would be to mow the lawn and add some plants that will perk up the place. It gives a signal to the buyers that the place is full of life invokes positive feelings about the place.

When to Sell Your House
 
House markets, much like other types of markets there are, fluctuate in prices throughout the year or even from year to year. If you’re not in a hurry to sell a house, it might be a good idea to wait for some time to use the fluctuating market price of houses as an advantage to you.
 
In Warner Robins Georgia, the best time of the year to sell a house is during spring. This is advantageous to the seller because, at this time, all the work you put in to beautify the outside of your house will pay off. If you painted your home, cleaned your lawn, and planted some flowers, the spring season will make your house look even livelier, thus, increasing the curb appeal of your home.
 
It’s a good idea to list your home in the first fifteen days of May, preferably on listings that go live on Saturdays, so that it sells faster and at a higher value. You’ll want your house to be in a listing that goes live on a Saturday since that is the time when most buyers have the opportunity to look for homes assuming that most buyers will have a traditional job that occupies their time during the weekdays.
 
To sum it up, when you are thinking of selling your house, it is a good idea to do a bit of work to freshen up and update the look and feel of your home. This can be done by repainting the house, or some sections of it, decluttering the place and keeping the lawn well-maintained. It is also relevant to time the sale to maximize the price trend in the housing market. This way you will sell the house for more profit compared to when you sell off-peak season. In addition to that, the spring season also gives many benefits when staging your home for the sale.

Nice work simple and straight to the point. Thank you very much for giving us your great idea. If you’re thinking about selling your house for sale there are several ways to spruce it up. Old house can be given a makeover with new paint. This can not only make your property look more modern and appealing, but it can also increase its value.

My uncle has been thinking about selling his home, and he would really like to make it more attractive for people to buy. I'll be sure to tell him about how he can make a better first impression by painting the exterior. Making sure that he can get it painted by a professional could allow them to be a lot safer.

Thanks for easy and helpful tips. We're on the way on preparing our house for sale so repainting will add a clean feeling to the house and make it vibrant, brighter also. So let’s slow it down for a moment, we jsut see your company in Macon region, maybe we can ask you some questions about our paint project after considering some painters in waltham ma, our locality.

Thank you for the tip to have your home repainted without your character put into it. That would help the potential buyers see the home as something neutral. Being able to see these colors could help them realize what it would be like for them to live there.

Thanks for pointing out that we must check how much value will be added to our home when we get the property painted. I will make sure that I will do that now that I will sell the house and move to a different state. Hopefully, it can add a lot to the overall value of the house so it can help us add more funds to our move.

I think it's a smart move to paint your house before you end up selling it. It'll just look more attractive and hence will help with the selling process. It won't cost too much, of course, and might end up driving the price up to quite an extent!

We want to sell our house and improve the looks before hand. The yard is in good shape, but the paint has been peeling and fading for years. I love your suggestion to choose gray-blue colors and maybe darker blue for accents. These colors are neutral enough, yet colorful enough.

I like how you mentioned that painting the exterior of your home can give it a good first impression. If you are going to change the color of the exterior of your home, it would probably be a good idea to make sure that you use paints that are water-resistant. I would think that you could find the right product to use when painting your house if you work with a contractor.
