How paint colors affect the selling price of your house
Half of 2017 has passed us by. During this time, one question some people have pondered: How paint colors affect the selling price of your house? Choosing paint colors is a very important decision, especially to have a profit from the sale of a house. Zillow and other resources helped to answer some of the thoughts about what colors to choose.
From this research, the paint color answer is: BLUE! Shades of blue are very popular. Blue bathrooms, blue bedrooms, blue front doors…. But don’t think all shades of blue are alike and will be the ticket to a greater profit. A navy blue front door may look great on a country home in Iowa, but not necessarily on a beach front house in Florida. Always keep in mind the neighborhood standard of trends along with the desired motif.

For example, fixed furnishings, such as the wood finishes (bare wood, type of stain and varnish and/or the placement) can influence the shade of the preferred color.
Another valuable resource: http://www.allurausa.com/blog/exterior-home-trends-2017 has tips for exterior colors. The tip to point out is: Test before you commit! Paint chips and placing on a small part of an area doesn’t give a great idea about the entire spot. Also use your imagination to the best of your ability to determine what the ending color (after drying and look at it in the morning, night, etc.) will be.
