Should I Paint My House Before Selling?

When potential buyers arrive and step inside your home, the quality of the paint job will be a major factor in the first impression they get. If touch ups are needed or the walls or siding look dull or faded, it can easily turn real estate buyers away. Alternatively, it can result in them asking for an allowance to cover repainting costs, which can be a significant sum. 

On the other hand, if you invest in expert painters prior to selling, you will:

• Boost buyer confidence by allowing them to envision how their living space will look
• Avoid having to give a paint allowance
• Incentivize buyers with the promise of being able to move in right away after closing, rather than having to wait for painting to be done 

For all of these reasons, the answer to “should I paint my house before selling?” is nearly a definitive yes. To emphasize the value, here’s a quote from Katie B. – who bought a home in Murraysville, PA and had Roman Paint Pros complete a $9,500 paint job there – on whether she would have paid $30,000 more for the home had the painting been done prior:

“Oh my gosh, yes, or MORE. I would have been able to move in right away instead of waiting a week for painters, and I wouldn’t have had to worry about how it would look in the end. I would have felt more comfortable moving in. It would have made this place look more modern and new.” -Katie B.
