Fresh paint could help sell home

The state of the housing market has been prompting homeowners to get creative when putting their home on the market, including over-the-top open houses and other pricey improvements. The Paint Quality Institute suggests that there are certainly less expensive ways to make a home stand out in the sea of homes for sale.

The source suggests that the outside of the home should definitely stand out and a fresh coat of paint can sometimes do the trick. A spokesperson for the company also says that the front door is also relatively important. A freshly-painted exterior tells potential buyers that you take care of your home, while the entry way inside is just as important.

Homeowners should repair any damage in the foyer or entryway of the home, and the source says light colors such as white or off-white are preferred by buyers. Other rooms in the home should also be painted in a neutral color, and can be a fun do-it-yourself project.

Painting the exterior of a home can take a lot of time and effort, so homeowners may opt to hire a professional. But either way, the source suggests that it is better to finish painting before listing the home.
