Color - it can really make or break a home. I have been writing about this quite a bit lately. I guess that's because so many of my consults lately have walls that simply need help.... Agents & Homesellers, please understand that fresh NEUTRAL paint is like liquid equity!!!
The agent had started 'staging the home' prior to me contacting him.... (This was one of my prospected homes after the condo sold that I blogged about.)
Photos don't quite convey just how highlighter green this condo was. When my assistant and I walked in, our first comments were, "Wow, that's green."... This is what your buyers will say too....
Just like Kermit the Frog sitting on that log at the beginning of The Muppet Movie... the home sitting for sale for months on end, may be sitting there singing, "it's not easy being green"... or chocolate brown, red, pink, purple, etc. Homes do not have to be tan or white, color can be added, but make sure it is appealing to nearly everyone - not just you!

some of the ugliest turnoffs are 70's paneling, any neon color. Pink bedrooms when the buyers have boys. wallpaper and borders from the 80's. Mauve from the 80's. You are so right about instant equity with rooms painted in today's neutral colors.
