Does Color "color" a Buyer's thinking about a home ? YES !

It is so true that most buyers can not see past what is there aka they can not see the future only what is there now Sally K. & David L. Hanson 

Well you won't get any disagreement from me...couldn't have said any of it better myself!

Great advice Sally and David!

Hi Sally K. & David L. Hanson most sellers follow the recommendations made by The Todaro Team members.... when they don't, it's a long road.... and some eventually see the light and do the work and interrupt the marketing process....ugh....nothing's easy.

Great advice for all home sellers Sally K. & David L. Hanson, paint is one of the least expensive things homeowners can do to  get their homes sold. I recently sold a home, sellers said it was freshly painted and it was but it was blue and pink with blue carpets. 

Sally and David I have tour a number of Open Houses that the Sellers needed this advice.

This is good reading for home sellers.

We had to completely repaint the interior of our home even though the artist seller had done a beautiful job.

I once did an inspection where every room was a different garish color and the buyer's loved it!  I thought it was hideous, but to each his own.

Sally and David,

It is how we bought our Los Angeles home.  The colors were many and dark, there were tatami paper screens, green avocado paneling, and scuffed oak floors.  We could see what was there, many cannot.  A

Hi Sally and David... I've just convinced clients who are about to sell their home to repaint to a neutral.... they have too many colors in their home now and none of them are "current." It took a bit of convincing, but they are finally on board.

So glad this was re-blog by George Souto  will have to see if Carol Williams  is featuring this  wonderful post great info

I have been caught up in the color palette several times and many sellers get offended when you talk about color and designs inside their homes Sally K. & David L. Hanson 

Sally and David- sellers could save themselves time and perhaps a lost sale if they would remember to market their property like any other commodity. Many buyers don't want to take the time to paint or put in new flooring. And yes, there are still people who can't "see it" if it's not exactly what they want. 

I do love your creative title.

When we bought our home...every room had a different color. There was a blue living room, a pink master BR and pink bath, yellow kitchen, orange den with paneling, brown bath and every room had different flooring. We saw through it and I still love this home after 40+years. There is nothing original in this entire house!

Another great post Sally K. & David L. Hanson color can certainly color a buyer's opinion of a home...but hard to believe that Packer's colors wouldn't win someone over! 

Morning Sally.

How true, how true.  We've all experienced those colors and decor while showing buyers a home.  Like you wrote about most can't see past it.

The majority of buyers certainly prefer neutral colors, but I have also been surprised when buyers like the whacky colors left behind by a seller, haha.

Sally, there are many buyers out right now looking for the gray tones, and a more modern look.   

Oh, the thing really is - buyers don't want to HAVE to do anything and you're SO right, the colors draw them in, whether they're aware of it or not! Love the title too, Sally!

Hope you guys have a fabulous Sunday!

Sally, walls are so easy to change but when the tile is awful you are talking a big expense to remove & re-install with hardwood...if the pictures show the hopscotch tile in purple & white...most buyers never make it in!  I picked on purple you see!

Sally and David, the argument "it's only paint" applies to sellers as well, if it needs it and will improve their selling position, then just do it.
