Want To Sell Your Home? Consider Neutral Paint Colors

When planning to sell your home, real estate experts agree that painting your home in a neutral color will increase its curb appeal, help attract more buyers, and may even increase its selling price. Although we’re in a hot real estate market here in the Gilbert and Phoenix area, sellers are still competing with thousands of homes on the market.

Today’s savvy buyers prefer homes that are in move-in-ready condition. Therefore, if your exterior or interior paint is faded, outdated, or chipping, your home may linger on the market, which may ultimately decrease its selling price. So now that you’re ready to paint your house let’s look at the best neutral paint colors to help sell your home.

Classy White

White is the ultimate neutral color choice because it pairs with any color, flooring, and furnishings in the home. It’s also a classy exterior color choice. On the inside, it makes rooms look larger and brighter with a clean, elegant appearance.  To avoid making your interior space look sterile, explore different shades of white like Benjamin Moore’s White Diamond or Behr’s Snow Fall. You can also add a splash of color by incorporating gray and beige or black and gray in your palette.

Trendy Greige

Greige is the new gray and is currently the hottest paint color on the market. The cool gray hues are blended with warm beige tones in varying shades and blends. The neutral paint color pairs with virtually any color, flooring, and furnishings making it an excellent interior and exterior paint color. Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray is the most popular greige color – it is a mid-range neutral that is neither too gray nor too beige. Valspar’s Smoked Oyster is another popular greige paint color that resembles taupe.

Traditional Gray

Gray is a timeless neutral color that never goes out of style.  It’s one of the most popular interior and exterior paint colors that blends with any home décor and style. Brighten interior rooms with a lighter shade or go bold with darker hues.  With hints of blue, green, or brown undertones, there is a shade of gray for every room in the house. If you’re having trouble choosing a paint color that will help sell your home, you can’t go wrong with Sherwin Williams Repose Gray. It ranked as one of the top fifty paint colors for 2020.

Cool Blue

Blue is a cool, neutral paint color that makes interior spaces feel calm and relaxing. A soft blue-gray hue like Sherwin Williams North Star is a smart exterior color choice that will help your home stand out in a neighborhood of gray and beige homes. Blue is the perfect complement to white and gray, so you can give your home a consistent interior appearance while painting bedrooms, doors, dens, and bathrooms in varying shades of this paint color.

Accent Walls

When painting your home’s interior to sell, an accent wall can have a dramatic impact appealing to buyers as long as you stick to neutral colors. It’s an excellent way to introduce a coordinating paint color to your interior or exterior palette. For example, if you’re painting your living room in a light shade of gray, painting an accent wall in a darker shade is bold and exciting but not overwhelming. You can choose any wall for the accent, but those with an architectural feature or other focal point work best. Finally, you don’t have to limit accent walls to interior spaces. Exterior accent walls are just as impressive.
