To sell your home quickly and appeal to the largest possible buying segment, keep colors in mind when painting or replacing carpeting. These improvements can net big benefits in a raised sale price.
-- Expose hardwood floors. The popularity of hardwood floors is undeniable and can drastically raise your asking price.
-- Install beige carpet if you don't have hardwood floors. This investment can make a home seem fresher.
-- Avoid non-mainstream colors on your walls. If you have a vibrant hue, consider painting over it in a neutral shade.
-- Choose colors that are soft and easy on the eye. White walls are not acceptable in today's market. Tan is the new neutral that most homeowners prefer and it can make a space seem newer, larger, and more expensive looking.
-- Take down wallpaper or borders. They are like pieces of art; it might not be to everyone's taste.
