What is important for sellers to keep in mind at this time?
Buyers are looking for turn-key homes. Does this mean you need to remodel your home? No. Instead, think PAINT! Rich, moody paint hues are in. Designers like Jake Arnold and Heidi Callier known for their rich design principles and authentic spaces are trending in design and home decor, evoking buyers to seek this in a home.
Mehnaz Khan, a color psychology specialist and principal at Color Conscious Living in Albany, New York, says, “Human beings have an innate desire for belonging.” (source: 7 Paint Colors That Make a House Sell for More Money, Brittany Anas). First impressions are everything. Be bold!
