Welcome to The Truth About For Sale By Owner

Selling Your Own Home Color Psychology

So, you're selling your own home and you're feeling especially motivated to make your place more attractive to potential buyers.

  


How much attention have you given to your home's color psychology?

When painting your home for resale, choosing the right colors can make a huge difference in your paycheck at closing. 

For example, did you know that the exterior color of houses selling the quickest are certain shades of yellow but choosing the wrong shade of yellow can kill a sale? 

That's right, the yellows to avoid are yellows with green undertones that appear sickly to most buyers and yellows with orange undertones that give buyers an impression of cheapness.

The best-selling yellow exterior color is actually a pale, sunny yellow, especially when complimented with one or more carefully-chosen accent colors.

For instance, a semi-gloss white trim will give your home a clean and fresh look, and adding a third color, such as green, can make your home even more attractive to prospective buyers.

You probably haven't thought that much about paint, have you?

Don't worry.  Most people don't. 

We browse the brochures in paint stores, showing various combinations of exterior paint colors, however, most of us don't realize that most of these  combinations actually include three colors, and not just two. 

Limiting your exterior paint scheme to just two colors also limits your potentiial income.
