How Presale Painting Can Increase Your Home's Market Value
Well, it’s been a slice. But now, it’s time to move. Should you consider presale painting? Would it make any difference in your home’s value?
Some of your neighbours may tell you that presale painting is a waste of time and money. Well, no offence to them, but they’re so wrong. In fact, presale painting can have a bigger impact on selling your home than you think.
How Much Does Interior Paint Increase A Home’s Market Value?
Before we get into how presale painting boosts your home’s real estate value, you’re probably more interested in hearing how much it can increase. To put it simply, presale painting can add around 5% to your home’s real estate value. If you’re discouraged by the small percentage, look at it differently. For example, if your home is worth $1M, your home’s value would boost by $50,000.
That percentage doesn’t seem so small now, does it?
How Does Presale Painting Increase Home Market Value?
So just how does presale painting increase your home’s market value? Let’s look more into that:
1) Better Curb Appeal
First and foremost, presale painting gets your home the attention it deserves. After all, first impressions are everything. That’s why curb appeal is so important. You want to be able to turn heads online and from the street. And a boring colour just won’t do that.
2) Updated Look
Dingy never sells. But updated does. And luckily, getting that updated look doesn’t have to involve expensive renovations and replacements. Instead, a fresh coat of paint leaves your home looking like new, inside and out.
3) Creating A Homey-Atmosphere
Staging your home includes removing family photos and creating a sort of blank slate for prospective buyers. That being said, this blank slate still needs to have that homey feeling that buyers are looking for and willing to bid more to get. Presale painting can help you with that by creating a neutral color palette that buyers will love.
