So, you want to sell your home? The days when sellers could slap on a coat of paint and stick a FOR SAL E sign in their lawn are gone.
Here are some tips, to get them to say “I got to have it!”
- Declutter! Your home will be more inviting.
- Accessorize, less is more. Remove potentially offensive objects; this includes game trophies. Fresh flowers are safe.
- Color is the primary reason why people purchase, more than 60% of the time. Paint your home in color.
- Curb appeal. The outside speaks about what’s inside; have it speak well.
- -Paint door
-Polish hardware
-Replace welcome mat
By highlight your home’s strengths and downplay its weaknesses it appeals to the largest amount of prospective buyers.








Nice writing style. Looking forward to reading more from you.

Thanks Chris. Glad you found Color For Your Home. ~Kate
thanks for the mention that it is COLOR that sells a home….It is also my belief that it is the color that people will remember – that beautiful red dining room….the beautiful yellow bedroom(& yellow is one of my favorite colors, too!!)
i thoroughly enjoy reading your articles..Thank You
Becki,
I think you are absolutely right that when someone remembers a room color is what they instantly recall and use as a descriptor. Great point!
I’m glad you enjoy the articles. Thanks for stopping by. ~Kate
Hi Kate,
That’s great info! Great food for thought.
How do we know color is the reason for purchase 60 % of the time? Is there a study somewhere, like the board of realtors or something?
Thanks a bunch,
Karen
