Little Pink Houses for You and Me…
June 2nd, 2008 categories: Around the House, Sellers, South Side
This house on the South Side has been beautifully renovated on the inside, but would the exterior paint color keep you from seeing it?
There are many factors involved in marketing and selling your home, and you can’t control most of them. But the curb appeal of your home plays a big role, and it’s one of the things you can have direct control over.
You’ll never get another chance to make a first impression of how your home looks from the street. If your home exterior needs new paint, or you made a poor color choice, potential buyers might not even get out of their car to come in and look.
Color can certainly make your house stand out in a crowd, but neutral colors appeal more to the masses and can give you better resale value. If you need a dramatic touch to make your house memorable, try being creative when painting the front door. That’s easy for a buyer to repaint if he or she doesn’t share your love of bright colors.
So does color really matter? When there’s a lot of inventory, buyers can afford to be extra picky and then pink could be a negative factor after all. What do you think?
