However, a professional exterior painting project to refresh the maintenance and aesthetic of your soon-to-be former home can help your chances of attracting buyers so you can focus on your next chapter.\u00a0A quality paint project could even help sell your home at a higher asking price. A listing with high curb appeal can be especially helpful if you\u2019re looking to put your home on the market during a slow buying season or at a time when the real-estate market isn\u2019t favoring sellers.<\/p>\n

The quality of your home\u2019s exterior is the first impression buyers have of your home. It can make or break people\u2019s perceptions of the property before viewing the interior. Read on for some of the best exterior paint colors to\u00a0help\u00a0sell\u00a0a home\u2013especially if you\u2019re a homeowner who knows they\u2019ll soon be putting their home on the market.<\/p>\n

Make It Move-In Ready\"\"<\/h2>\n

Yes, some buyers are certainly in the market for fixer-uppers that can be customized to their taste, but that mentality isn\u2019t for everyone. A lot of buyers are looking for move-in-ready homes. Don\u2019t be afraid to have a professional exterior painting project completed for fear that buyers may not like the colors you\u00a0choose. Instead, make thoughtful color selections that are fresh and pleasing to a general audience. It\u2019s best to play within a neutral exterior color palette.<\/p>\n

A Warm Welcome With Wheat<\/h2>\n

While we love a bright, sunny yellow exterior, a super vibrant hue can be off-putting for some buyers. We suggest going more toward buttery hues that are both warm and inviting. A\u00a0wheat hue works well for an exterior painting project because it complements natural materials like stone and dark wood tones that may already be a part of your exterior landscape. It also pairs well with dark browns and gray-blues that you can incorporate into secondary or accent colors for your painting project. They all play within the neutral space that won\u2019t turn off buyers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The fall months aren\u2019t known to be the best for sellers. People are settling back into their school routines and may not be inclined to begin a moving process with winter right around the corner. You do have the benefit of less competition on your side if you must list during the fall, and a wheat color scheme can bring some major autumnal feelings to your buyers. Wheat hues look so beautiful with fall reds and oranges, which can help get buyers in the door during what is otherwise a slow season. Keep that lawn in order too\u2013\u2013a wheat paint color will glow next to all that green.<\/p>\n

Draw Attention (The Good Kind) With Blue<\/h2>\n

Blue is no stranger to the exterior space. A deep blue exterior can have a nautical, serene feeling or a light blue can feel bright and fresh. Blue hues are great for people who want some color, but still want to play in a neutral space for wide appeal. Blues can bring a lot of personality and enhance standing architectural elements while not be an overwhelming presence on your street. They are\u00a0definitely\u00a0at\u00a0the\u00a0top of\u00a0the\u00a0list for\u00a0the\u00a0most\u00a0appealing\u00a0exterior\u00a0house colors.<\/p>\n

Tried and True White<\/h2>\n

White has reigned supreme for exterior painting colors for quite some time. It\u2019s a fresh and clean color to build a palette around for a professional exterior painting project. It\u2019s also a smart choice if you\u2019re about to put your home on the market. Potential homebuyers will view your white paint job as a blank slate for them to make their own. It has a timeless appeal.<\/p>\n
