Posted on June 28, 2021
There’s no secret that the housing market in our area is on fire. Many sellers are getting over asking price and bidding wars on their homes. While painting your exterior might not be at the top of your list, it could set you up to get even more than you dreamed for your home. Curb appeal is enough to make or break your sale and bring you a bigger cha-ching at closing time. Here are 10 exterior paint colors to help sell your house in South Florida.
Homes that are freshly painted, especially on the exterior can give an illusion of being cared for, loved and sought after. These are all the feelings you want a potential buyer to notice. Choosing the right color can make a big difference. Here’s a list of the most popular colors in Broward to get you started.
Popular Colors
Off-White
A classic, off-white allows you to feel neutral and clean. Using this color allows you to add a more vibrant trim or shutter color to your palette without feeling like it’s too much.
Yellow
Mimic the sun to bring a smile to anyone approaching your house. Since our UV rays are no joke, stick with a paler shade and avoid very quick fading. Pair it with gray or white for a clean and crisp look.
Light Blue
Light blue and even aqua for more adventurous homeowners can be perfectly nestled into the Florida coastlines. Bring the serene, calm feeling of water into your property by pulling from the blue family.
Gray
Gray is the new beige. The color works equally well on old style homes and modern. Because the color reads as a neutral, it’s an easy way to update your home’s look to trendy without overdoing it.
Taupe
Taupe will remain a standard in exterior colors. Colors like this work well with dark brown or black trim or accents, giving a fresh but not fussy feel to the house. It will look stylish while playing it safe with color choices.
Putty
Putty offers the newest trend in home colors in a gray beige color. The warm color is a perfect blend to pair with natural surroundings. This is a good option if you are working with a home that features stone, brick or other design elements.
Blue Gray
Draw inspiration from our afternoon thunderstorms and deep seas. Blue gray works well to give your home a beachside, nautical feeling. Pair it with stark white for a clean and waterfront look.
Wheat
Not yellow, but definitely not white, wheat is a good yellowy-beige that is warm and welcoming. Choose dark mocha brown to paint accents and trim. It will set off a freshly trimmed, green yard.
Green
Rather than grass green, choose one with gray and warm undertones. This allows you to use a darker hue on your home while standing up to the Florida sun. Add cream or white to your shutters for a perfectly placed look.
White
White is a classic for a reason. Be sure that if you choose to paint your home is a bright white that your sprinklers are pointed away. Nothing makes a home look unkempt more quickly than copper colored stains from canal water fed sprinklers.
