When selling your house, every color counts! So today we are going to be talking about colors! A recent finding from Zillow stated that homes with light blue bathrooms sold for about $5400 more than comparable homes. Now while this may not be a universal fact that your home will sell for $5400 more if it has a blue bathroom, we may take some time to understand the reasoning behind this which has to do with color psychology and what that can mean for you when selling your home! Blue is generally perceived to be a calming color which makes sense as to why people would like to see it in a bathroom, but in terms of what colors you should paint the rest of your house when getting ready we recommend a neutral or warm color tones. This is mostly because colors such as bright yellow and bright orange may make it harder for buyers to envision themselves in the home. Therefore, it is more beneficial for your color pallet to make them feel safe and welcome. It is important to keep in mind that everyone, no matter what age or gender, sees and perceives colors differently. It is because of that that again we recommend a neutral pallet so that people can make their own impressions of the home and not let the colors do that for them.
