When it comes to preparing your home for sale, one of the cheapest and most impactful updates you can make is surprisingly simple: paint.
A fresh coat of paint in a single, neutral color throughout your home can make a world of difference. Buyers often walk into a house and say things like, “Why would anyone choose this color?” or “Every room is a different color—why?”
While you might love your bold accent walls or sports-themed man cave, not everyone can look past them. Some buyers struggle to envision themselves in a space that reflects someone else's extremely personal style—and that’s okay! It’s not a judgment on your taste, it's just human nature.
Neutral tones—think soft grays, warm beiges, or clean whites—create a blank canvas. This will help buyers focus on the space, not the style, and make it easier for them to picture their own furniture, art, and life in the home.
So before you list, grab a roller and simplify your color palette. It’s a small investment with a big return.
Bottom line:
Neutral paint makes your home more marketable, more move-in ready, and more appealing to a wider range of buyers.
