When preparing your home for sale, small changes can have significant impacts on its market value. One of the simplest yet most effective ways to boost your property’s appeal is by applying a fresh coat of paint. At Naarm Painting, we are deeply rooted in Melbourne’s Bayside community, where we’ve had the pleasure of enhancing numerous homes, including projects for clients associated with respected local agencies.
First Impressions Matter
Potential buyers often decide if they’re interested in a property within minutes of viewing it. Fresh exterior paint instantly improves curb appeal, creating a welcoming, well-maintained impression. Opt for neutral, attractive colours to appeal to a broad audience.
Property Value & Sale Appeal
Homes painted in modern, neutral colour palettes are generally more appealing to buyers. Industry reports show that freshly painted, move-in-ready homes sell up to 40% faster and can attract up to 80% higher offers.
Increased Property Value & Easier Sale
Real estate research indicates that professionally painted exteriors can increase your home’s market value by an average of 5% to 10%. According to reports from the Real Estate Institute of Victoria (REIV), freshly painted homes sell 20% to 30% faster compared to those without recent exterior paint.
Creates a Sense of Space
Light, neutral colours make spaces feel larger, brighter, and more inviting. Especially in areas like living rooms and bedrooms, fresh, light-coloured paint visually expands spaces, making your home appear more spacious and appealing.
Highlights Your Home’s Features
Fresh paint can emphasise architectural details like trims, mouldings, doors, and windows. Using contrasting colours highlights your home’s unique features, further enhancing aesthetic appeal and perceived value.
Cost-Effective Renovation
Painting is one of the most affordable and impactful home improvements available. Compared to extensive renovations, painting offers an excellent return on investment, often resulting in significant value increases relative to the initial cost.
Reduces Perceived Maintenance
Buyers prefer homes that look move-in ready. Fresh paint reduces visible wear and tear, reassuring potential buyers that the property has been well-maintained, thus minimising their immediate renovation expenses.
Modernises and Updates the Look
Interior trends and colour schemes can quickly become outdated. Repainting your home with contemporary, universally appealing colours significantly increases buyer interest and boosts market value.
