If you ever sold a house, you’ll understand me perfectly. This is one of the most difficult tasks. This is a real nightmare! Fortunately, some realtors know very well how to prepare a home for sale, how to get a large sum for it, and how not to lose your mind! The tips below will help you change your life for the better.
Increase attractiveness
Experts argue that updating the paint inside and outside the house, as well as landscaping, are pretty important things. Of course, they will require financial expenses, but will pay off during the sale - moreover, several times! So do not rush to sell your nest in the form in which it is located. Better pick the right colors and upgrade your home.
Avoid bright colors
If you are most concerned about the possibility of a quick sale at home, avoid bright colors. Although after that the house will look great on Pinterest, it rarely happens that the bright appearance of the house is the best choice. In addition, vibrant homes are usually a very personal choice. As a rule, they are not interested in the “average buyer” and can make it difficult to sell a house. If you want to give your home a unique color, consider giving the front door or shutters an interesting, vibrant hue and leave the facade neutral.
Paint the door black
It sounds a little strange, but the statistics are implacable: a black front door can increase the price of your home by 2.9%. Perhaps the whole point is that such doors look incredibly stylish. It is not necessary to use just black color - gray or dark blue tones will do.
Stay away from yellow
We all love the sunny house, but perhaps not literally. A recent analysis showed that yellow houses sold much cheaper than expected. In addition, these houses remained on the real estate market for a long time. And what exactly is the reason - no one knows.
Environmental friendliness
Houses with solar panels on their roofs are valued more than those decorated only with tiles. And this is not surprising - solar panels allow you to receive electricity and save. In addition, the owners of the house are not afraid of interruptions.
Take into account all the details.
You must understand that there is no universal way to make a house beautiful. Before painting a house in a certain color, you should carefully consider all the details, paying attention to where exactly the house is, what surrounds it, what size it is. Consideration should be given to the architectural style. Some houses can be painted in two colors, others look better if they are plain with emphasis on shutters.
More greens
But a delicate green tint is one of the best options for a home. At the same time, experts say, it is best to choose light colors: this way the house will look as fresh as possible. In addition, the green palette contrasts perfectly with the snow-white finish or dark accents, such as the dark front door. It has a natural look and blends well with the existing landscape without being too inconspicuous or too bright.
Pay attention to where you live
Not only the style of the house is important, but also those styles that are popular in your area. So, dark colors are appropriate in the southern regions, while shades such as gray, white, and blue are relevant in the northeast. In regions where autumn comes early, white, blue and brown houses look magical. Against the background of orange foliage, red or green shades, gold look perfect.
Working with flowers that are popular in your area, as well as colors that are best suited for your home, you will get a more attractive result. This will help to sell the house faster and less likely to repel buyers.
Gray is always appropriate
Many home buyers do not want to spend extra money after acquiring a new house for painting the facade. It is for this reason that you should put your house in order by updating its color. If you want to sell the house as quickly as possible, realtors say, you should pay attention to such a color as gray - bright, delicate, dark. Anthracite is also suitable. Such tones are perfectly combined with almost any color accents, with any style of the house, greens look great against their background. Delicate, but contrasting colors on the finish - this is a great way to emphasize the architectural elements and focus on the appearance of the house. This will help to sell it as quickly as possible.
Consider all the features
You should know that in some villages the exterior of all houses should be made in the same style. That is why there is a ban on a radical change in the appearance of the home. The same applies to any historical houses. So be careful not to incur losses.
Try not to be too brave
Sometimes each of us wants to make the house original, not the same as everyone else. It is for this reason that some decide on bold experiments and paint their house in all the colors of the rainbow. Of course, blue, red, saturated green and yellow shades look very unusual. But are they so good when it comes to selling a home. Realtors explain: any bold colors are too individual. The likelihood that you will quickly find a buyer for such a house is extremely small.
Presenting the perfect look of your home before the sale, you should be neutral in shades and tones, because too bright colors can scare potential buyers.
The best color for home is white
White is a classic color for the facade of a house that has never gone out of style. For eternity and for the buyer, such a snow-white color is the most attractive option. Realtors say that white paints attract the maximum amount of attention. This is not surprising, because they look as simple as possible, concise, fresh and clean.
When selling real estate, you should know that the white house is attractive to the buyer, because it is a “clean sheet” for them, allowing you to show your own creative inclinations and experiment with landscape design and additional decoration, for example, the new color of the door, window, etc. And the white house is much easier to repaint in a different tone than, for example, beige, brown or blue.
