House Painting Increases The Perceived Value

(Newswire.net — September 9, 2013) Vancouver, BC —  If you are selling your home and have time to prepare, then consider how a prospective buyer will feel when they view the place. Many things come into play when someone is looking to buy property and fresh paint will only enhance things like the landscape, the neighborhood surroundings and the overall feel of the structure.

Fist time buyers are usually more concerned with their budget, whereas seasoned buyers pay more attention to recent updates like plumbing, appliances, landscape work and fresh paint. Just because you only did the trim doesn’t mean it is wasted effort. Any people will do that in-between a full house paint job to freshen the look and keep up appearances.  

Think Used Car Sales

Every used car salesman knows a clean car is worth more money, so apply that fact to the house and expect to sell it faster for a higher price. This fact is not just dependant on the neighborhood or age of the home, rather it lends itself to how people perceive the way the house was cared for. Everything deteriorates over time and things like the drains, the roof and gutters, the landscape and condition of the paint will make an impression. Good interior painting work will add a positive note to a potential buyers impression.

House painting is one of those things that needs to be done every five to eight years depending on humidity levels or how hot the area you live in is. Sun and rain beat the paint off walls over time and peeling paint is not attractive. In fact most prospective buyers will not put up with peeling paint, seeing it like the cover on a can of worms. Most people will turn and walk away from a ratty looking house thinking the owners did little or nothing on upkeep. On the other hand, seeing the exterior painting on a clean home with sharply done trim and nice colors the initial impression welcomes them in for a closer look.
