How to Boost Your Home’s Curb Appeal & its Value

Thinking about selling your house? If so, you probably already have a mental to do list of the repairs and facelifts that need to get done on your home before listing it on the market. If painting is in your list (and it should be) hiring someone to help you with the exterior and interior painting of your home can boost the value of your property.

Painting both interior and exterior have proven one of the most effective ways to increase value and give you a great return on investment. Today, we will provide a guide to completing both these projects and getting more out of your investment with the help of Paint Ops.

Improve your homes curb appeal

Though sellers have the upper hand at the moment, repainting your interior and/or exterior is a wise move to get the most money for your home. A survey by the National Association of Realtors indicate you’re not alone. Its Profile of Home Staging says 63 percent of real estate agents recommend painting interior walls prior to selling.

Exterior paint can say a lot about your home at first glance—even if you skip having your home painted before listing it. Peeling paint along the stem wall, faded paint on walls, or chipped stucco may send the message that the property hasn’t been that well-maintained. You may be unintentionally influencing what the buyer thinks about the home before they even get to the front door.

Remember, in today’s market, “curb appeal” is more than just what your house looks like from the street. It’s critical that your home makes a positive first impression online, too. For a prospective buyer swiping past dozens of listings in a few minutes, the exterior of your home may only have seconds to make the case that they should click on the listing and learn more about your property.

The guide to painting your home’s interior

The interior of your home should be repainted at least every 7 to 8 years. If you have kids or pets, you probably need to repaint more often. It is also a good idea to repainting ahead of listing your home: you’ll want every room looking its best prior to that first visit from a prospective buyer.

When in doubt, stick with neutral light colors, such as white, off-white, and light gray. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can make use of color theory to bring certain shades to different rooms by consulting with Paint Ops experts who can better guide you in the process.
