The
first thing a buyer will see and comment on is your home’s exterior
color. When preparing a home for the market, the most recommended
shades are within the sage, tan or gray color families.
Understated
browns (including the aforementioned tan) signal security. Homes
painted in sandy or mushroom hues read comfort and warmth. Colors
like taupe, which falls somewhere between brown and gray, call to
mind traditional values.
Earthy tones like sage, laurel green or artichoke can not only
highlight a verdant landscape, but also evoke a sense of tranquility.
Homes
in other colors may sell
successfully – our retinas tend to register yellow before any other
color, so a buttery yellow exterior could be an attractive option for
buyers – but non-traditional colors, like oranges and purples,
appeal to very specific personalities and can significantly shrink
the pool of interested buyers.
It’s
important for sellers to consider the home in relation to the
neighborhood before swapping out the exterior color or refreshing an
existing paint job. Do nearby homes share a distinct color scheme? Is
each home uniquely colored? Evaluating the home’s surroundings can
help sellers determine what’s most popular in their market.
