Painting is the second most significant task people do before selling their home, which is why many often ask if they should hire professional painters. It’s important to analyze the total cost of painting a home to answer this question.
A 2012 study showed that painting your home’s interior could get you a 107% return on investment (ROI) and 55% ROI for painting the exterior. A freshly painted home lets people know the home is clean and allows them to imagine themselves moving home, while the exterior adds to the curb appeal, which can have a massive effect on your home’s sale.
The cost of paint and hiring painters varies based on the home’s size, the paint you’re using, and if prep work is needed. And, of course, there’s the rising cost of labor. Many realtors work with professional painters to help get you the best deal possible. Painting the interior can start at $4,000 for a small home and goes up to $9,000 for a larger house. A freshly painted interior looks incredible in photos, which helps generate potential buyers in hopes of increasing competition to get multiple offers.
Be sure to keep the above information in mind when deciding whether to paint your home before you sell it. We wish you the best of luck on your home sale!
