I don't think I would put a purple carrot in my mouth. 😜
If you are Selling, or thinking of Selling your home you should be aware that there are certain colors that just plain old don't belong on the exterior of a home.
I had a listing that was the same color blue as the one above in the lower left corner. People loved the house, location, and nearly endless back yard that emptied into a City owned ravine. Everyone complained about the color and it sat on the market about 6 months. I finally convinced the Seller to paint the house... it sold a week after being painted white.
There are several lessons here.
#1 Listen to your realtor when it comes to tips on how to sell your house.
#2 Just because you like a paint color (interior or exterior) does NOT mean anyone else will.
#3 Giving an "allowance" for painting or flooring seldom works.
#4 Buyers do not buy homes to fix them (except investor). Buyers usually borrow as much as they can and because of that they want their "perfect" home for the money. They rarely have money left for projects, they want to kick back and enjoy their new home... not fix it.
Of course there are always exceptions to the rule and if you are waiting for that exception to buy your home my professional advice would be:Â Don't hold your breath.
