Paint Can Improve Your Homes Worth

In a highly competitive market, with lots of properties around ready to be flipped, you just can’t do enough to keep your property’s value as high as possible.

It might seem pretty obvious, but keeping your property painted properly can assure you a better appraisal, and definitely, a greater appeal to possible buyers who are mostly looking for a place to move in without having to invest more money on home improvement expenses.

Real estate is all about trust, and nothing gives more trust to the buyer than visiting a well-maintained property. It creates a sense of assurance that cannot be beaten since people will always react first on a visual scale. It’s the first impression that matters the most, and if you manage to achieve a favorable reaction on a first look, your chances of selling your property will be improved exponentially.

It is also known that a house that is painted often has been better protected against mold or other external agents. This makes a lot of sense in a region such as East Orlando, where humidity can take a big toll on walls and ceilings.

Even colors play a big part in the business, with experts going as far as claiming light-colored houses are way more appealing. The right color can increase your home’s value by thousands of dollars.

Front door

A recent paint color analysis from Zillow found that homes with front doors that are a shade of black can increase a home’s value by more than $6,000.

Bedroom

When it comes to bedroom walls, experts have found that drastic color schemes have a negative impact on buyers, who are more likely to prefer a more neutral color palette.

Kitchen

Let’s not forget about the kitchen. If you want to increase your home’s sale price, two-toned kitchen cabinets should be considered. By choosing two-toned cabinets, particularly if the lower cabinets are a bold color such as black or navy, you can see a price increase in the appraisal.

Colors you should stay away from

There are colors known to decrease the value of your property. These colors include:

White —This includes any shade of white such as off-white or an eggshell white

Orange – Whether you are choosing an orange with a brown undertone or just bright orange, stay away.

Brown –Brown is one of the most unpopular colors, no matter where it is. Keep it out of your home, particularly if you want to sell your home in the future

Yellow —Yellow use to be a popular color for kitchens and bathrooms and while it still is a common choice, but it’s kind of a risky choice. Too much yellow can hurt your home’s chances to be sold easily, as it can be overwhelming.
