If you are a seller in Cardiff, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista, or San Marcos, and you want to improve your house in a big way, think about painting it. The Valspar Corporation, a leader in the paint and coatings industry, just released the results of a study saying that buyers are looking for “big changes” from a painting project.
The VP of Valspar said, “Sellers can boost curb appeal and increase the value of a home by changing the color of a family room, staining a deck, and applying epoxy floor paint to the garage.
How should you, the seller, choose a color that wilil make the biggest impact? Valspar says that 60% of sellers gravitate towards a neutral palette rather than a bold color (27%) which makes it difficult to achieve a major transformation. However, you can choose a neutral color and accomplish a big change. For instance, choosing a color that’s a shade daraker or lighter from the original netural offers a more distinct look.
When sellers do go bold, green is the most popular (42%) followed by yellow (33%). Green is a consistent favorite because of the color in nature, and with yellows making a splash in fashion and home decor, a softer yellow is a nice option. Also, sellers don’t need to repainit the whole house to make a big impact. If you change just one room in the house, the rest of the house looks more interesting. For maximum effect, try working on a central room in your house like the family room, entry way, or hall.
If you’re thinking about improving your home to sell it, painting gives you a big bank for your buck. With all of the inventory out there right now, you need to make your home stand out!
