5 Ways to Boost your Property Value by Repainting it


Selling your property is challenging, but there are lots of smart strategies to boost up the value without overthinking. One of the easiest ways is reconsidering the exterior design. Many sellers fail with the new color palette, so we came up with these 5 tips to help you.

  • Avoid bright colors

Being creative is great, but when it comes to property sales, going bright may cause you losing the deal. Average property buyers tend to avoid bold designs as they are too personal and may need a makeover.

If your property is located in a famous art filled area, going all wild may be a good point, but a calm residential area will prompt you to choose neutral palette.

On the contrary, some architecture styles match well with the brights. A Scandinavian wooden cottage will look appealing for the potential buyer painted vivid red or yellow, while a Victorian era inspired home will look cartoonish.

  • Paint your front door black


According a Zillow Paint Color Analysis, homes with a black front door sell almost 3% better. A smart contrast may catch the buyer`s eye. Moreover, repainting or replacing the front door only also may cost you minimal expenses compared to a full-scale exterior makeover.


  • Mind the area and its style

If you do the research on the average color palette of your neighborhood, you might be surprised that homes in the same area are mostly painted in one color scheme.

For instance, the US Midwest homes are generally painted in the neutrals, while the West Coast is more about vivid tones in green, gray and even reds and golds.

Also remember that some areas may have a designated exterior color palette so consider discussing any renovation with your local authorities. Sometimes repainting your property without permission may cost you a fine, so we strongly recommend to check your local renovation policy before taking action.

  • Trust the timeless choices

White is a classic buyer-appealing color so repainting your property into this tone is smart. Just notice how the same property looks brightened and refreshed with this simple makeover! Adding contrast details will power up the effect so the whole exterior will look neat and classy.

  • Add some contrast accents

As we just mentioned, adding some contrast details may look attractive and help you to sell your property faster. Exterior home design loves the contrast details almost the same way the fashion does. Many property buyers consider neutrally-colored homes with color enhanced architectural elements elegant. Also, such color scheme makes the property look expensive and stylish.


Those were our tips on repainting your property to sell it better and faster. Next time we will share some other creative ideas to boost your property value, so check our updates!
