“We’re selling soon, and the house looks tired.”
Buyers decide fast. Fresh paint helps your home look cared for, without a big remodel.
First looks matter.
Buyers make up their minds in the first few minutes. Peeling trim, scuffed walls and very bold colors make them wonder what else is wrong.
Clean, fresh walls help buyers picture living there.
Where paint helps most
- The front door and trim
- The entry, living room and kitchen
- Rooms with very bold or dark colors
- Scuffed halls and stairs
What you can do.
Clean and touch up
If your walls look pretty good, this may be enough. Ask your real estate agent.
Paint the rooms buyers see first
The entry, living room, kitchen and front door matter most.
Paint the whole inside or outside
Good if the paint looks worn everywhere, or the outside is peeling.
