Can color help sell your home?

Yes! Just like curb appeal matters, the colors of your home can and will influence buyers. With that in mind, we explore which colors tend to appeal to the masses.

The color scheme of your home from the outside in, sets the tone. It's like going to see a theatre play and seeing an intricately crafted and appropriately painted set for the production. It can immediately intrigue you–before the play has begun and even if you knew few details about the play.

When it comes to

color, be sure to consider the location. A peach-pink home in a retirement community might be okay, but that same color in an upscale, urban city may be unappealing to younger city dwellers.

The outside of your home is one of the largest areas potential buyers will see.

So make your decision carefully and be sure to have a professional paint job done.

If you choose white for the exterior, your home is likely to appeal to the masses, according to one study that indicated upwards of 40 per-

cent of people liked white homes.

The great thing about a white home is you have plenty of options to make the home stand out by using an accent color for the trim. The downside is that

white gets dirty very fast and shows it more than other colors. So before you list your home make sure that you have a fresh coat of paint applied or pressure (con’t. on page 5)

wash the exterior to bring back that newly painted look.

Also take into consideration the color of other homes on the block. Typically, white will not look out of place. However, if you had a purple home on a block where the homes are mostly beige and neutral colors, you'll get noticed but likely not the kind of attention you want.

Beige with neutralcolored trim is another popular color scheme. Both beige

and white are safe exterior colors. They don't turn buyers off.

There's also been a trend to paint just the front door a deep, rich color like red.

This may not be appealing to all. However, buyers would tend to overlook it because it's a simple change as well as one that can easily and

cheaply be changed to the new buyer’s choice. As long as the colors look good together, this wouldn't necessarily turn buyers away.

The paint inside your home is equally important. In fact, one good tip for sellers is that if they can do nothing else, they (con’t. on page 6)

Color (con’t. from page 5)

should get some fresh paint up on the walls. The new paint helps showcase the home and gives it a new-home feel.

There are a wide variety of interior colors. Don't feel like you have to go with only beige. You can be a little more daring, using bold accent colors. Just make sure the paint colors you choose don't give a dark, closed-in feeling. Aim to create comfort, a sense of calmness, relaxation, and a

Saturday, Oct. 26, 2013 place where family can unwind. Earthtone colors convey this very well.

For a more chic and sophisticated look, interior designers often choose from the grey palette.

A dark grey color can create a bold statement and attract the eye to a particular area.

Whatever colors you choose, remember that your aim is to appeal to the masses. Test the colors out first. Get opinions from the experts.

Your real estate agent has likely been in hundreds of homes and can offer you some very good guidance.
