Homeowners typically spruce up their properties before listing them, taking steps such as decluttering and repainting to make their houses more attractive to buyers. A new analysis suggests that sellers may want to choose their interior paint colors carefully since they might make a difference in a home's potential selling price.
Bathrooms painted a sky blue color were the big winner, with buyers saying they would pay almost $5,000 more for homes with the restrooms painted this shade, the real estate listing website Zillow found in a recent analysis, which surveyed about 1,300 recent or prospective homebuyers on what they'd be willing to pay for homes based on specific interior paint colors. The price premiums are based on the typical home value of $290,000, Zillow said. The other winner: Bedrooms painted a "moody dark blue" color, with buyers saying they'd pay about $1,500 more for homes with that shade on their bedroom walls.More Related News
