The Clouse Corner: All About Paint

How big of a difference can a coat of paint make? Brennen investigates on this weeks Clouse Corner! Lets talk a tale of two houses: Two houses go on the market at the same time. Both are spacious two bedroom, one bath, affairs in a desirable neighborhood; located near a natural grocery store, and some boutique shops. For ease of comparison we'll say they were built at the same time and have the exact same fixtures and amenities. In fact the only difference at the time of them entering the market is their paint jobs. One owner favored bold dark colors, like deep blue and burgundy and painted all their walls and bathrooms in this vein. The other was repainted before going on the market in light neutral tones. Which do you think will sell faster, and for more money with just this one difference? Which one would you prefer to move into?  Now obviously this is a leading question. But it's pretty likely that if you followed this thought experiment you found a strong preference for the lighter more neutral house. There are a lot of reasons for this, but the main take away you should have is that paint is actually really important. In fact it might be the single most important change you can make before putting a house on the market. If you like the episode please feel free to reach out and let us know.
