Getting Your Yakima Home Sold: The Power of Painting

Some sellers can get frustrated quickly when they envision selling their home quickly, but see it listed on the market for more days than they would of hoped. Sometimes it is the small things that can make a big impact in the sale of your homecoming that much quicker, such as new exterior painting.

Below are some quick and affordable ideas that will turn your buyer’s head twice.

1.Paint Your Front DoorBuyers get a feeling as soon as they pull up to the curb

When buyers are on the prowl looking for their “dream home” they are looking to experience a certain feeling. A feeling that symbolizes they are home. A quick way to instill this feeling is by adding some character to your front door with a new coat of paint.

We encourage you to think outside of the box when it comes to color. Look at the color scheme outside your home. Do you have flower pots or a patio set that is near? Select a color that gives your home personality that stands outside from the rest. This is a budget-friendly way to give your home the curb appeal it needs to sell.

2.Focus on High Impact Areas

Painting is one of the least expensive yet highest-impact updates you can make to your home before you list. Focus on making an impactful first impression on your potential buyers. An example, if you have a large foyer or a grand hallway – add an attractive pop of color to it to make them shine even more.

3. Do it For Them!

It is amazing how valuable a well-painted home can be to a potential buyer. The majority of homebuyers simply want a home they can move right into. That being said, selecting modern, neutral colors that will potentially match your buyer’s decor are key when selecting colors. Always keep your potential buyer in mind during the color selection process. You are painting your home to sell, not for you to keep. They will be very thankful for all your handwork in the end.
