The color scheme of a home can greatly affect the outcome of a sale in Greater Salt Lake City/Park City.  Prepare your home for sale with a fresh coat of paint prior to listing your home.  This is an inexpensive fix that yields a big impact.  Consider changing your current scheme to a more neutral buyer friendly hue.  If you would like suggestions for popular colors in the Greater Salt Lake City/Park City area, feel free to contact me at kathyo@kathyohomes.com.  I will be happy to discuss tips on preparing your home for sale.  If you would prefer to discuss preparing your home prior to placing it on the market, I can be reached at 801-518-4599.

Neutral does not mean boring.  The purpose of creating a neutral color pallet is to appeal to the widest range of buyer in Greater Salt Lake City/Park City.  There are ways to create interest using neutral colors.  A great way to add interest without going overboard is with texture.  Another trick for adding interest is using a tone-on-tone pattern.  Consider using this technique on an accent wall to call attention to an architectural feature.

Another way paint can be used to help sell your Greater Salt Lake City/Park City area home is by highlighting or minimizing certain features of the home.  For example, paint wood trim a different color than the walls.  The contrast of the color tones will call attention to the wood.  This is especially important if you have crown molding, chair rails, or other architectural accents you want the buyer to notice.

Paint creates a mood.  Cool colors are restful.  Bright colors are stimulating.  The professional real estate agents at RE/MAX Associates can guide you through the process of choosing buyer-friendly colors to improve your homeís marketability.  Punches of color can be added to your home interior with fabrics and accessories.  Designers recommend 60% of a room color should come from the wall color.  30% of the room color should come from cabinets and furniture.  The final 10% can be punches of deeper accent colors brought into the room through fabrics and accessories.
